Re: OT - U.S vs. Europe paper sizes???

2004-09-21 by john4mb

England use to have interesting paper sizes (before the switch to 
ISO ), like large post quarto 10" x 8", post quarto 9"x7", foolscap 
13"x8" to name but a few, we even had a flat sheet size called 
double elephant!  But sadly its now all A4's where ever you go - 
so stick with your American Quarto and be different.
Officially it's kilos and litres but most mature types think in 
pounds and pints - especially in the pub
