Have some stuff at home that could be useful when we will renovate the house next year but I Think I read somewhere that there could be some problem about the voltage??? or maybe that was tools from US?? Any advice would be appreciated. My British ones work fine here. No issues. I do always leave their original (fused) plugs on though.

A happy Father’s Day to all fathers who sacrifice their health and well being for the love of their children. On a side note, I’m blessed to have become a part of my Filipina family in which now there is a little 5 year old imp running around causing all kinds of chaos and joy and my wife tells me she’s the child I never had. My lucky Filipino leap of faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wikipedia : The pound or pound-mass is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customaryand other systems of measurement. Various definitions have been used; the most common today is the international avoirdupois pound, which is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, and which is divided into 16 avoirdupois ounces.[1] The international standard symbol for the avoirdupois pound is lb;[2] an alternative symbol is lbm[3] (for most pound definitions), # (chiefly in the U.S.), and ℔[4] or ″̶[5] (specifically for the apothecaries' pound). whats the weight measurements used in England?

Ah 0.454 kilograms so a henway is 1-1.5 kg. Edited June 15, 2019 by Gary D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good cast but I thought the bait needed a little more wiggle since no one was taking the bait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
