[BITList] Die Endlösung

[FS]

Hugh / Mike
We still have mainly single course meals with occasional desserts, 
sweets over here are called lollys, crisps are chips and chips are chips 
or french fries, until we went metric ones tool box was a nightmare of 
different spanner sizes what with whitworth, BSF AF, Gas, brass, etc 
with all the different threads that went with t,hem with so much of the 
equipment being imported it meant ones box weighed a ton , funnily 
though BA never made it which really made electrical work pretty ropey 
as whitworth fractional sizes were used until the finer metric threads 
caught on
My wife mastered the art of Yorkshire pudding not bad for a 8th 
generation Australian, not that one sees much of them nowadays just 
having had the hottest summer on record plus its hard to justify a roast 
dinner for two
