Speedometers in cars have both scales on them here, both mph and kph, which saves alot of trouble. But all business have to use metric measurements here now. Me, I just use what ever I feel best to use at the time.
We get alot of truck drivers hitting our railway bridges (especialy in my town) because the height still reads in feet and inches, and many truck drivers that come to our town are foreign, usually french, german or polish and read the signs metricaly and end up smashing into the railway bridges...
I actually don't get it, britain has supposedly converted to the metric system like the rest of europe but fuel consumption is STILL measured in galons.
I think it is because it is less confusing to us brits, but either way it wouldn't bother me if they said "Miles per liter"......wait to be...
The UK has always used C for temperatures. However we switched to metric a few years back except we still measure road distance in miles and not Km's, the only measurements to really change was weight measurements, and now we use cm and mm instead of inches.
I think I was 18 when I first left.......Ok got kicked out, but glad I was kicked out to be honest. Don't hate mom for it, she did it with good intentions.
Ok so you obviously did not read all the posts as the fact I have internet has INFACT been mentioned.
I did not pay for much in my apartment, friends helped me out when I first moved, The TV is an old piece of crap my friends sister gave me, my VCR and DVD players I got from mom as she bought...
I am looking to go into further training or something, the government will help pay for some courses. And people on welfare get discounted on some college courses.
What upset me the most about Sinjo is that he didn't stop to ask me "well, what are you doing to look for work?" OR even as Shay...
Kindness, He may be ranting at me for being on welfare, but I am not a complete asshole, If he gets what he wants and gets in the army then good for him.
However I am curious to know how he is surviving if he is in limbo. cause maybe I could take a leaf out of his book.
