Hi

So it's a sort of charity raffle then? Guess that's a good ploy to get people in as the places seem very busy on those nights.

Ton vs tonne is as far as I am aware exactly as you suggest, imperial vs metric. I am of an age where they are interchangeable, understanding both systems. Years ago they tried to force the UK to use metric exclusively and that did not go down well.

I think if I had a choice I too would go out of a city than go to a pub.

Regards

I went to my fabourite shop in the region, Jaycar. For those unaware of this Aladdin's cave, it is like the old Radio Shack / Maplins but on steroids. I could live in it.....
I used to feel that way with Radioshack and Maplins, very gutted that in the UK at least these types of shops just don't exist anymore. What also made me very sad was the fact that Maplins transitioned from electronics component supplier with knowledgable staff to more of a novelty gadget store with highly ignorant staff (at least the one near me).

I also am not aware on why you would quarantine an ESP board? I also can't find anything on Google regarding it. Could again be ignorant staff :lol:

Also if it helps it's absolutley roasting in the UK atm! makes a nice change from coding sat wrapped in a duvet ;)
