U.S.A converter

Postby bluesnowcone » Mon Jan 29, 2007 7:15 am

im from the uk and when they say pounds and degrees and dollers i know its not the sane as ours, can you get a little side bar converter that when you type in a weight it puts it in stone

Well it's not a site based in the UK so surely we should have a converter into a more universal mesurement like KG, Meters...etc..

ummmm, google?

just type "<whatever>miles in km" and itll convert it for you (put a number instead of <whatever> obviously), works with everything, dimensions, weights, volumes, currency etc.

bear in mind tho google is american so put "uk" or "us" in front of volumes cos yanks pints are smaller than ours :roll:

It's both.

Welcome to America! The land of really sucky measurements!

Except I've gotta say that "stone" is a pretty strange measurement.
