 That is alright, she has been fussing over me for more than 45 years.

 KvE>>   What is up the road for you, 100 Miles?

 Sorry, I always associate non ISO measurements with English. But even in
 GB you get Liters at the fuelstation. Well gallons was confusing anyway,
 ere they 3.75 L or 4.05 L.  The Brits never added the Imperial prefix.

 KvE>>   Where you live, it is far to hot for me, N-Z would be better.

 We are in for a hot weekend, temperatures may rise to 28C.

 PQ> Yes, I agree about NZ.  Again, the local expert is David D.  He's a

 Well apparently he does not fancy NZ, he has been in OZ for so long now. ;)

 PQ> BTW, the Aussie dollar is worth about 64 Euro cents.  The Aussie

 PQ> The most expensive bit is getting down hereabouts, and back home.

 It all depend on the prices at your end. If I go to Indonesia, I get
 millions of rupia's for my Euro's but you als have to pay millions.

 In my youth the official exchange rate was 3 Rupia for a Guilder. The end
 value of the Guilder was about 2.2 Fl for a Euro.

 But as you say, cost wise, it may be lucrative for us to spend a holiday
 in OZ or NZ if you donot count the fare.
