spongebob toonpants 3604 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm really not, sorry if you can't keep up, like. Yes, I'm converting imperial-metric on a regular basis, sorry you find it so hard going, I'll think of you this Christmas. "If a bloke wants to run his business into the ground, selling only the lefty-hand side of cabbages, sold by the moon-unit, how can that really be anyone's business but his own?" That was my point btw, I've already said I haven't a clue who this bloke is and that what's being said about his political agenda sounds very plausuble. Because he doesnt want to "run his business into the ground selling only the lefty-hand side of cabbages" he wants to rip off unsuspecting punters, which is what the law is trying to prevent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Renton is one of those that needs protection. I can just imagine him at the deli counter like Tim Nice-But-Dim going "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Sooooooo. Ah, how many pound things is that then?" in a T N-B-D voice as the lass behind the counter weighs out his enormous pork pie order. Renton - please tell me your joking about converting that to pounds and dividing by 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversion is easy, try dividing 2 stone, 4 pounds, and 3 ounces by 7 and see what I mean. Trying to calculate your weight loss goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton - please tell me your joking about converting that to pounds and dividing by 7? I want the answer in pounds and ounces, please tell me what it is. I don't think it is easy tbh. Btw, I am aware that this is a different issue, the issue was a set of accurate scales that work in standard units, not too much to ask for from a shop vendor imo.

Hence they would be able to fend for themselves when issues like this innevitably arose when there was no-one there to protect them? Or would people not have the choice to say, well his prices take the piss, but I still shop there for the banter. Allowing them to make their own decision based on the evidence.

Secondly, it hasn't given me the answer I want, which is in pounds and ounces, not decimal pounds! I rest my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Is it not 32 pounds and 3 oz. ? Or am I missing something? You forgot to divide by 7, but yes, seems pretty basic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, it hasn't given me the answer I want, which is in pounds and ounces, not decimal pounds! I rest my case. My point was that there was very little point in giving you the answer, because I could have cheated, I came up with 4.6 in my head, knowing that was a little out, didn't see a situation where i need to separate out the ounces. Seriously, this kind of maths is a question of doing it regularly, NOT intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 And I also think that is why it should be there and is a good thing. But you don't want to discuss it. Correct. If you're bored though, Renton will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
