2003-01-09   They may have been German.  The Germans have always used centimetres when describing the size of the screen.  Both Germany and the UK use the PAL (Phase alternate line) standard.  Were there more then one language on the box?   John   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Thursday, 2003-01-09 06:34 Subject: [USMA:24411] Keeping Up Appearances This British comedy was on TV early this morning (BBC America).  One scene showed two fellows unloading TV's from a truck.  The boxes had a brand of Ferguson or something similar and, on the top, "59 cm colour TV". Has an inroad been made here? Carleton
