Gatagordinha Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 tee hee you guys like to act differently, with the €/£ thing and such Metric is slowly taking over here now. My parents can only think in imperial. Me, I was taught metric at school but still think in both. My kids can only think in metric, they don't know what an inch or a pound is!! So soon, we will be fully metric in our habits, I think. As for the Euro - I wouldn't mind having it here but many are dead against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess people want to maintain traditions. Once I held a pound coin. It is really heavy:shocked: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I are one of them; in a lot of cases, in the supermarket e.g. I still count back the amount of euro to guilders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starrats Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I saw Mika on Saturday and when he was standing in front of me the first thing I thought was "He's not that tall at all" But maybe it's because I live in the Netherlands and the dutch people are tall people I'm 178 cm tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably the only girl on here who could kiss the Mikster without provoking a chronic neck injury. I hate you. Mind you I once had a boyfriend who was 6'5" and I'm only 5'5" and my neck is fine But that was long ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
