That's Right! No more of volts, watts, amperes, ohm, lumens, lux, hertz, cc, or seconds allowed!

Violators will be beat with a metre stick.


And if you're in the U.S.A. you may not use the customary units such as feet, quarts, inches, gallons, mile, etc., as in the U.S.A. those are legally defined in US law by terms of the banned metric system, so you must now use the cubit system.

Haha thank you I dislike the metric system!
But I was referring to the language. What in the world is a "Wodonga"? Is it similar to a bigfoot should we be scared? How many Wodongas are around, and why are they leaving?

Constantly worked on an Asquith mill in past employments, that was all Whitworth. What a pain in the ass. Eventually, tore it out and replaced it with a Woton.

Whereas on British TV News we like to use the Wales system.
Once had a hemorrhoid that was the size of a walnut shell.

Or was that an ass-teroid? Either way, it burned like hell.

Yes, I can see how that would be confusing. Usually it is referred to as an Albury-Wadonga. Which is bigger, but not quite twice as big.

Thank you for clearing that up! Good to know it's not quite twice as big.
Now I can say with confidence that it's at least as many as Wadonga, but not as many as Albury-Wadonga.
How many washing machines is that?
