I wonder what the exchange rate will be when we're forced to change to pesos![]()
It happens in the afternoon, not in the morning...![]()
We (the consumers) are allways royally screwed (and we dont even get to kiss)
I.e. when we went from Guilders to Euro which happened January 2002 .... 1 euro = 2.20 guilder.
Guilder prices from 6 years ago, euro prices today
1 Bread 1.80 guilders... 1.69 euro now (3.72 guilders)
1.5 liter Coca Cola 1.89 guilders... 1.35 euro (2.97 guilders)
Salary.... 2000 guilders 1000 euro![]()
I think it's all 3 Brian. But, the joke was on the fly...I didn't even know what it meant until I wrote it...but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense actually. Especially on workdays.Originally Posted by Brianwarnock
What's plywood?
Is this an American thing, youngster thing, or am I a bit slow, or all 3?
But I don't get it.

I have heard this complaint from Greece to Spain and all places in between.

Just curious; I have a tape measure which has inches on one side and cm's on the other. On the inch side, every 16 inches there are small black triangle marks. I know these are to mark for studs in walls.
On the cm side there are similar marks every 40 cms. Is this supposed to be stud layout marks in a metric system? If so does that mean than in areas where the metric system is used that a sheet of plywood is 120 x 240 cms?
That's how I put two & two together -![]()
So is that the size of your plywood?
I've never ever seen a 5x5 sheet of anything here, 8x4 or the metric equiv is the norm![]()
Wonder where the 5' x 5' size comes from then? Shipping reasons? Could be cost reasons too, though. Baltic Birch is very good quality but it is also very expensive.
Maybe they're short stubby trees ?![]()
My wife, who is Austrian is a seasoned traveller.
She loves to tell the stories of the old days when you would travel to several countries in Europe and have to change money at each stop.
I'll bet the nights just fly by in your house. . . . .
