Don't forget British thermal units, Btu's, or BSP, British Standard Pipethread, and inspite of our metrication it used across Europe too, inch=zoll=bulgado. If you want a pint go to Starbucks for a "vinte", a full twenty ounce pint! Our building timbers are measured in metric-feet = 300mm Although nominal 2" or 50mm are common usage they are not referred to as twobys - Four-by-two was something else all together ! If not into rhyming slang it was/is ? the size of a special piece of cloth used as a rifle pullthru. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
