Resorting to a common word in my regular vocabulary won't elicit a negative response. ;P
English
-
Your smart
-
Being from the UK, its a word I use daily. Our Australian cousins ain't that different are they! :D
-
Not as much as you think. Probably the only thing different about us is we got lazier due to the hotter climate, so everything we say has an abbreviated version now. ;)
-
You drive on the CORRECT side of the road like us! Everyone else is a retard!
-
Lol, but you guys have your speed in MPH, not KPH. :P
-
Ahh that sucks! How about other measurements, cm or inches? grams or ounces? litres or gallons?
-
Cm, gr, lt. ;)
-
Good!
-
That's why I don't get why you guys use metric for everything else, but imperial for one thing. Boggles ones mind.
-
Yeah its wierd I agree
-
Most cars there have dual unit speedometers though, don't they? Seen several on Top Gear, I believe.
-
MPH is dominant on the speedos, kmh is there but its small and no one ever looks at it
-
Yeh, noticed that. Would be useful if someone ever imported a British vehicle over here, I guess. Any idea why they do that if all signage there is in miles?
-
In case you take your car overseas I guess, probably a requirement in all vehicles to have both so that it's your fault if you break the speed limit in another country cos they did put kmh on the dial
-
Fair enough. Thought it might have also been because Europe is such a large continent, and some of the surrounding countries may have used kilometres instead of miles.
-
Yeah but their cars at built differently, the drivers seat is on the other side, British cars are sold in Britain only
-
Well I figured that haha. I more meant that if one were to drive their British car to Germany or something. ;)
-
That's exactly what I said in my earlier post... Lol
-
Oh, thought you meant somewhere else as you said overseas, haha. Guess I took that too literally. ;)
-
From Britain to Germany for instance; overseas! The English Channel separates us from the rest of Europe :)
-
Oh, really? Haha, don't mind me, then. Geography clearly isn't one of my strong suits. :p
-
Haha i don't blame you, you shouldnt need to know that information at all
