Title: Metric and Imperial
Post by: Nick on March 30, 2008, 09:49:02 AM
I decided to reinstallour stereo system yesterday(Dining Room restoratoin) and thought I would buy new speaker cable.

I estimated that I needed 80 feet o it and went to a local shop.He converted itinto metres (26) and then announced that he only had 14 metres in stock.

He recommended another shop who did have it in stock.

I have just realised that due to near senile confusion I have bought 80 metres of the effing stuff!! Angry9:

Anyone want 165 feet of speaker cable?

And then......?

Hang it out the front balcony, fire it up, and watch all the 'bling' fly up to you that's attached to all the toffs and tossers that go sauntering past on a Sunday afternoon, ice cream in one hand, blondy bimbos in t'other.
Could wreak absolute havoc with the ECU on Ruperts Porsche too. lol:
