It all started back in 1966........

"When they changed from pounds, shillings and pence to dollars, it made my place twice as valuable, so the rates doubled."
"When they changed from acres to hectares, l lost over half my farm. Rates doubled again."
"When they changed from miles to kilometers, it put my place twice as far out of town and doubled my petrol bill. And l got booked twice as much for speeding."
"Since they changed from gallons to litres, it takes four times as much petrol to fill the ute's tank."
"I used to have a dam that held 100,000 gallons. When this became 454,600 litres, the dam overflowed and flooded what land l had left."
"When they changed from pounds to kilograms, it halved the weight of my cows and doubled the amount l had to feed them. The wool-clip also dropped by half."
My sons have doubled in size since they changed from inches to centimetres, so l had to buy them all new clothes."
"The old lady's figure has filled out from 40 - 50 - 30 to 100 - 127 - 76, so l had to buy a bigger bed."
"And the weather! Everytime it rains, we get flooded in millimetres. Since they changed to celsius, the place got too dammed cold to live in."
"And daylight saving! The extra hour of sunlight curdled the cow's milk, faded the curtains, makes the hen lay hardboiled eggs and turned me rooster funny."
