    10 Ounces

    You got it almost right

    it is:

    10 ounces make a cup, 2 cups make a pint (20 ounces), 2 pints make a quart(40 ounces), 4 quart makes a gallon, a gallon(in the U.K.) is 160 ounces. There must be some historical reason for the change.

    Maybe that is why we yanks are celerbrating the 4th of July today Mate!

    Went to a great club one night down some skinnel in Manchester, and had Pimms No.1. Wonderful. Went with Mike Forster, Royal Photographer for the Daily Mail back in the 80's. He was dating a lovely lady named Sue who worked for the city of Liverpool. Met Mike at Le Mans in 82,... great memories

    yeah, but can you prove it though? Sounds silly, but did you check the pump was zero'd before you started?

    I'd just do the British "creative apathy" thing and never go there again...

    Smile Note to my US Brotheren

    Come for a visit to Canada. You will quickly get used to buying gasoline in litres (90.5 cents Canadian today in Ottawa = approx. 77 cents America or US$2.93 per US Gallon).

    Pick up a spelling lesson too. Like.....colour, flavour, behaviour and maybe arret, merci, voiture,....
