Well that's interesting...

I note that your calculations utilise Kilometers instead of Miles, and ~~Liters~~ Litres instead of Gallons...

Is this usual practice in Australia?.... Roll Eyes

That is technically true for the UK. However, there are still lots of exceptions.* For example; beer & milk is still sold by the pint (I think there would be rioting on the streets if they tried to change that) & distances are measured in Imperial miles. Speed is measured in MPH & many people also use feet & inches rather than metres. There is a lobby pressing for this to be changed in time for the 2012 Olympics. More expense & confusion. I can't imagine how much it would cost to change every road sign in the country. They'll be wanting us to drive on the wrong side of the road next. Roll Eyes

*I had a search round & this is apparently the case for Australia & New Zealand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Australia

Thank goodness, Doug...

There's still hope for we Imperialists yet...>>>>

Quote:
Despite metrication being a success a few remnant aspects of Australian life have remained imperial. For example, after a short period in which hardware stores were required by law to sell metric bolts, a relaxation of the law allowed for pre-metric fasteners to be sold as well. Currently, both Whitworth and metric nuts and bolts are readily available, but Whitworth bolts are stocked in a greater range of sizes.

In many cases imperial units continue to be commonly used in spoken and sometimes written form. Examples include reference to a newborn baby's weight in pounds (lbs). Occasionaly, land areas are quoted in acres and a person's height is measured in feet and inches.

YMMB can you specify whether the time is 1AM or PM GMT? If that is 1am that why sure I'll be there but hell no I am not waking up at 6:50am just to have a simple flight.
