Who was the American recently spotted sporting an affectation of using "ou" words (honour, colour)??

You're always so very helpful with timely information. Thank you.
Postscript: I'm an American and never substitute kilograms for lbs..

I have this pet pot bellied pig named Heffalump. About 6 months ago Heff ate my daughters leftover breakfast including a good sized piece of maple syrup covered bacon. Now whenever I cook bacon Heff goes nuts. He bounces up and down on his front feet and snorts like an old steam locamotive. I've been slipping him pieces of bacon just to shut him up.

Originally posted by rookie54If we are talking cost per US gallon of petrol per mile vs cost per UK liter of petrol per kilometer, I would say the Gallon has it beat as far as efficiency goes. But since I am not a mathematician, I could be wrong. It would be interesting to find out.

Originally posted by rookie54Efficiency isn't the entire issue. Eventually the metric systems will engulf the western world. I choose not to hasten it.
