A mile is a mile. I don't think anyone anywhere would ever consider measuring vehicle driven miles in nautical units! There's no need to add the US bit, it implies that theres a difference between a US mile and an Imperial mile. However, there is a difference between a US pint and an imperial one and also a US gallon. *That's* where the clarity should be. > amazing, that most of the worlds population find brits arrogant! No, you missed the humour element but FYI, most of the 140+ countries of the world find the Americans arrogant! After all, they only have 4% of the worlds population but cause 25% of the pollution and whinge about "gas" prices and couldn't give a shit about changing attitudes but then with such a statement, I'd be lumping all US citizens in the same boat, just as you have missed the plot completely and have lumped all Brits in with the "arrogance" claim because you don't get my sense of humour! :-) David.
