Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I just thought some folks in the UK would know the difference between a British gallon and an American gallon, and I hope they tell me how many ounces are in each. Since there are 16 ounces in a pint, two pints or 32 ounces make a quart, and four quarts or 128 ounces in an American gallon, then I already know how many ounces are in the American gallon. I just wanted to know if it was the same or different for Britishers. Unfortunately, both Americans and Britishers revolt when it comes to the metric system. At least there is one common standard world wide for hours, minutes and seconds. I guess at least we can be thankful for a world-wide standard of time. how much is a tablespoon? >> >> >>> Greetings! >>> >>> I have what you would probably consider a strange question.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Yeah, I know about feet and inches. Most of the world operates on the metric system with meters, centimeters and kilometeres. how much is a tablespoon? >>> >>> >>>> Greetings! >>>> >>>> I have what you would probably consider a strange question.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Harry, A British gallon is about 7/8 of an American gallon, sotthere is 112oz in a British gallon. Re: how much is a tablespoon?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 , Surly you jest. (LOL) Well folks, it just goes to show that you learn something new every day... I have never before in my entire life heard that a British gallon is different from a U.S. gallon. Hmm, wonder what a British quart might be.... Hmm, if I go to a pub in England and ask for a pint will I get only 14 ounces- bummer! Well, I suppose I will have to have a couple of pints so I can get enough. (LOL) I already know that if I ask for " chips " I will get fries and if I wanted " chips " I should ask for " crispies? " . Cy, the amazed Ancient Okie... Re: how much is a tablespoon?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well, it must be a sign of the aging process - but - I seem to recall a term called " Imperial Gallons " used in Canada. Is this the same as British Gallons? Cy, the Ancient Okie... Re: how much is a tablespoon?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Yes, I believe you are correct. Maybe a Britisher will chime in and let us know for sure. how much is a tablespoon? >> >> >>> Greetings! >>> >>> I have what you would probably consider a strange question.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi Harry, I had forgotten completely about the Imperial Gallon until something in my poor wee little brain remembered folks talking about going across to Canada to purchase gasoline because it was cheaper up there. Now, if the Imperial Gallon is really only 7/8 of a U.S. gallon ;the joke is on them. (ROFL) I still want to know if I go into an English pub and order a pint if it will be 14 ounces rather than 16. (7/8 of a pint) Now, to carry this a bit longer, does this mean that an English gallon of milk has fewer carbs than a U.S. one? Think about this for a moment, this would also imply that a gallon of English ice cream would only have 7/8 of the carbs that we get here in the U.S. How about some English Toffee? (LOL) Oh my, it surly must be getting late....Cy, the Ancient Okie... Re: how much is a tablespoon? Yes, I believe you are correct.
