2001-03-03 Some Australian members of the UKMA list note that they use either x.xx m to describe their height or xxx cm. And even kilograms. Pat, you have told us people still use the ft/in for heights in Australia. Is this universal or are there people who use SI to describe their vital statistics? Can you guess on to how it is broken down, as to how many use SI vs. FFU? John Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrtümlich glaubt frei zu sein. There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they are free! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anna Langley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 2001-03-02 14:39 Subject: Re: [ukma] (fwd) Metric body height and weight > As another Australian educated type person, I tend to quote my height as "a metre 73" or "one seventy three", or maybe "173cm".
