Lance corporal.

Example - see how small medieval suits of armour were, and the height of doorways in such places as the guard houses in the wall of York - I had to stoop to get in and I'm only 5'11".

What I find interesting here is that Metla has identified himself as in NZ, Greg has not posted and place of origin, but both youse guys are stating height in feet and inches.

Why? I thought that youse guys were all metricated! :nerd:

NZ hasn't always been metric . . .
Both Greg and Metla are probably old enough to have grown up learning the imperial system . My dad is the same, he still talks about miles and feet etc .

575960 2007-08-04 05:10:00 NZ went metric back in late 1966 (October?)I think which is just before my time
although I still measure some stuff in ft and others in mtrs/cm as do a lot of others.

It was only our money which went metric in the 60s.
I didn't have to start learning kilos instead of pounds at the vege shop until the following decade, as I recall.

575964 2007-08-04 06:46:00 Sounds plausible to me, but you might need to explain what you mean by different ends of the cow, I'm a city slicker.

As for the poll- can we have a mixture?

I kind of like the idea of the string bikini and a wet fish :D
So milk comes to you from where? If you use milk that is.
