Thanks to my writing in Fidonet as well as by snailmail to many people in the 
USA I got rather well used to compare Fahrenheit to Celcius.  Comparing miles 
and kilometers does also go rather well. But don't ask my about inchers and 
all other measurement-units which are not decimal ones.  I really don't know 
them.

The same for me about  those.

Just this week we had some frost during the nights but on next wednesday 
we'll get again milder temps and lots of rain. There has been a bit snow in 
the southern part of Belgium.
