Hi,
I am mailing this because I can't post from my host. You may care to post it
for me.
Because of the confusion over Celsius/Fahrenheit conversion, it may be useful
to know of the system used in Australia to accustom people to the new way of
thinking when we went metric :-)
0-9 deg C = ? Tens (sorry, I forget this one)
10-19 deg C = Tingling Teens
20-29 deg C = Temperate Twenties
30-39 deg C = Thirsty Thirties
40-49 deg C = Fiery Forties
