For those of you who don't know the difference, the conversion formula is: Double and add thirty. So, you see, British six-packs have only 6 beers, but metric six-packs have 42 (oh, no, not that number again) beers. Does this mean that you could cross Canada on only 1 six-pack (assuming you bought it in Canada)? -joey Posting article.... Article successfully posted. A copy has been saved in /dev/null.
