I worked in OZ for 3 years as a chef and the once you get used to it, the metric system is SO much easier to use than our nonsense! The only thing I stand by the English system is the knotical mile, and that is STILL used on every ship on the sea to this day. Thanks for the cocktail receipes Bonzabazza, I am surprised you could compile so many with the Aussie barkeeps mostly just mixing Bundy and cokes or drawing schooners of Tooheys, Reches and VB! :lol:
