I'm not going to spend the extra time to weigh myself in Kg because that's how you measure other things like cement or flour, etc.Blank Verse said:Canada officially uses metric, but not one person here knows how tall they are or how much they weigh in metric.

Do you Europeans call chips Crisps? Because that's silly if you do, tee hee
