Mark, For goodness sake you forgot to include that us Brits (including Scots thank goodness) still drink pints of wonderfully warm hand pumped real ale.
Sorry all, still off topic.

We have a very convoluted attitude to units. We decimalised in the 70's but it only really took for money. Ever since we have painfully slowly been moving over to everything else. So, the weather man mostly talks about Celsius (but occasionally throws in a few imperial references to keep the older viewers happy). Distances are still almost 100% in miles (sign posts etc). Petrol is now virtually 100% metric. Food is mostly metric except for markets who seem to be able to switch according to the customer's needs (but the law says it must be displayed and weighed metrically - still have people being arrested for doing it imperially!) Cookery has gone over, too (thank goodness - what the blazes is a 'cup'?!... except we still use teaspoons and tablespoons liberally, though they have an accepted precise decimal equivalent - 5 & 10ml resp). Rather off topic! MW On 21 Sep 2014, at 00:21, EVDL Administrator via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > On 20 Sep 2014 at 11:21, Martin WINLOW via EV wrote: > >> 133kW LiFePO4 pack ...
