Answer 2

You seem to have forgotten that Britain is still non-metric. Even that monster called the E.U. has decreed that Britain can keep its non-metric measurements of the inch and pound weight, etc as long as metric measurements are used alongside these. And if the day ever came that they decreed pubs should serve beer in anything other than pints there really would be a revolution. The idea that America wants to be different to Britain, is a non starter. America inherited all of its measurements from Britain in the first place. This makes it difficult to understand why the American gallon is smaller than the British gallon. Of course, as a retired mathematics teacher, I am totally familiar with the metric system but don't see why we should have it imposed on us from outside. The day Britain leaves the E.U. I will buy my first ever bottle of expensive champaigne! P.S. Re the answer below. Why does he think that 110V is better? There is actually an advantage to the higher voltage. You don't have so much voltage drop with a long cable. Try having a long cable on an electric mower. Mind you, I suppose all Americans use petrol mowers.

Answer 3

for specifications you have to write or make a call to stadiums board.
