Hey, give the Brits credit for making a beer good enough to drink
when it's only 62 or 52 degrees! Now if we could only get them to
fix food other than BOILED.

Cheers.

Right. Americans are lazy. It is easier to state the largest diameter
piece that can be turned rather than requiring the worker to divide
by 2 (or multiply by 2) to find out if a piece of stock will fit. Doing
the math (and decisions which one to multiply or divide), much too
hard. :-)


Yep. We're too busy drinking beer.

*Cold* beer.

From refrigerators that actually work.

If all I had to look forward to at the
end of the day was a warm beer in a house
with no central heating, I wouldn't be in
a hurry to get home either. I sure would
be dithering along, doing odd sums and
long division by hand in the shop...
