Finnish has gotta be the strangest european language. ;) It doesn't seem to resemble any other (not even russian). Where the heck are its origins? :eek:

[kedaman]

i think we have the same roots as hungarians

I think that makes you the only non-indoeuropean language group in Europe. I had a collegue (a Mac user actually) who learned Finnish specifically to try to develop an alternative mind set and way of thinking:confused:

[kedaman]

yeah we finns live in an alternate reality

[parksie]

You need to. This one's too depressing!

[kedaman]

youre so right

Translate please?

72p / litre????

how many litre per gallon anyone?

and 1 pound is baout how much $?

here in NY gas is (for the cheap stuff 87 octane) $1.67 a Gallon!!! it will pass $2 in june

premium is alreat at 1.85

it sucks!

[chrisjk]

8 litres = 1 gallon I think
£1 = about $1.45

[barrk]

cheap gas = 1.91
premium = 2.05

in California......we still pay significantly less than Europe though per gallon. They really get taken to the cleaners!

[Static]

cant be! that would put it in the $8 / gallon range!

i bet its closer to 2 litres...

[chrisjk]

I lied, it's 4.5 litres = 1 gallon

[chrisjk]

jeez, you're complaining about $1.67/gallon. I just worked we pay $4.79 a gallon!!!!!!!! That is a ****ing outrage

[Static]

yeah! I just did the conversion too!! HOLY S**T!!! you are getting robbed!!

well...then I cant complain...

sorry
:rolleyes:

now is the cost of living up there??

like what is a typical 1 bedroom apt cost?
how about a Gallon of milk (or a 4.4451 litre :))

[barrk]

I paid 115,000.00 for my 2000 sq.ft house.....I saw ads for three bedroom apartments for that much in the London Times. They make a lot higher salaries but they pay megagazillions more for everything!!!

[chrisjk]

1 bed apart. really depends where you are. London is silly money ($50-100,000+) but elsewhere probably a more reasonable $40+

Unfortunately, milk is sold in pints. I'll have to find out how many litres a pint is

[parksie]

1pt = 568ml :) Says so on the bottle :p

[barrk]

2 pints = 1 gallon

[chrisjk]

Parksie, it's 30p a pint right? or something like that. I can;t remembet. I usually just pick things uop if i need them without bothering to look at the price.

[chrisjk]

pint (British) 0.5682 litre 1.7598 pint (British)

[chrisjk]

ok, i think this is right. A gallon of milk is 77p ($1.07 to you)

[barrk]

We couldn't possibly make this much harder could we??:rolleyes:

Unfortunately I have to go.....I see you tomorrow!

[chrisjk]

[Static]

I happen to remember that 1 gallon is 4.546 litres, in case you're after some accuracy.

That's a UK Gallon

A US Gallon is 3.785411784 litres

so 78p per litre = £2.96 per us gallon (0.78 *3.785411784)
£2.96 in US$ = 2.96 * 1.45 = 4.28

so 78 UK Pence per litre = $4.28 per US Gallon. Bargain!

The average UK Salary is approx £19000 per annum
which equals $27550 per annum (@$1.45/£)

[HarryW]

I assume £19k is the mean? The average for people I come across certainly isn't that high, perhaps it's raised by the real high earners. The median must be a bit lower.
