ATTAK Z

so is mine these days but then I'm from an earlier generation too and I learnt all my stuff in imperial. For instance, domestic floor loading is 1.5 Kn/m2 which is equivalent to 30 lb/sq ft and low strength concrete is 21N/mm2 = 3000 lb/sq in AFAICR. I also have in my head that 1m = 3.28084 ft and that 1 kg = 2.2046 lb, just so I can convert measurements for those who can't be bothered to learn to think in metric. My point is, why do kids get taught to use cm for linear measurement when most industries do not this unit? Sorry I seem to be getting a bit serious here but it makes me soooooo mad when I ask the teachers to explain and they can't

is that all? steady

That's interesting .... UK please note

F*** the wheels .....who's the babe?

for me, a definite NO. If someone says 12 cm to me, I think 6" and then convert this back to 120 mm or leave it as 6" (no jokes please about why I think 6" ) In my job I work in metric all the time but often have to talk to clients in feet and inches so that's probably why I take the circuitous route as explained above

Steady Zeddy Do cars made in the EU (i.e Caymans etc.) get lower VRT banding than Japanese or non EU cars?

I was referring mainly to teachers in primary schools

Whereabouts?

Why the high price in Ireland (relative to other cars as it is in Oz)..... Is Nissan sales policy at fault or it is the same for all Japanese vehicles?

Does that measurement have some special meaning for you - which in old money is five and quarter inches Its the size of my heels that is so tempting to edit but must not abuse my mod powers, must not abuse my ...... go on

Sarnie, you are well known for your sharp, fast and 'straight to the point' comments ..........13.4 cms = 8 key strikes ............ 134 mm = 6 doya get my drift?

Why do people use 'centimetres' as the new 'inches'. All technical people know that it's 'millimetres' for small linear measurements, metres for larger distances. I've asked many teachers why they teach the kids to use cm and I haven't had a logical answer yet. The only time I use cm is for the second moment of inertia and that's in cm4 to keep the numbers sensible.

Time for the old avatar methinks

Put me down for a black one please .......... no ..... sod it .....I'll take a black and a silver PS Do we have a 'How to Fit' thread please?
