I respectfully refer you to post number 5.

And another thing (that we can blame the americans for):

You do not say "Can I get a coffee please ?" you say "Can I have a coffee please ?"

This is one of my pet hates, and joy of joys Sean Lock was ranting about it last night on one of the comedy channels.

Is it a rant you want? Here goes. :rolleyes:

Well I've been to that former colony of ours, just to the south of Canada, several times, and I've never heard any of its citizens ask for coffee like that.

The usual utterance is simply the one word - 'Kawphy' - not even one letter pronounced correctly! LOL

After I've asked for something, with please at the end of my sentence, I've often received it with just the words 'Two-fifty' or such - just numbers.

I wind them up by saying 'Yes, that's right.' After a couple of times they twig and then say 'Two-fifty please.' If not I then tell them I'm waiting for them to ask me to pay rather than tell me what the cost is. LOL

End of rant. You may now go to the laundry facilities, and ................. wash your sox. :p

Back to the OP's question.

I cannot find the size 215/80 15 in the current data book. :confused:

That size may well be a commercial 'C' size or an obsolete 'classic car' size.

What brand is it and what is the load rating?

they just look bemused and don't really know what to do.

Subject: RAILROAD TRACKS and Other things ..


The U.S. Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England , and English expatriates designed the U.S. Railroads.

Why did the English build them like that?

Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why did 'they' use that gauge then?

Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?

Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England , because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So, who built those old rutted roads?

Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts in the roads?

Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.

Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. In other words, bureaucracies live forever.

So the next time you are handed a specification, procedure, or process, and wonder, 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right.

Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses.

Now, the twist to the story:

When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, you will notice that there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah .

The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit larger, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass.

So am I and it's a **** as I have to read everything 3 or 4 times before it makes sense!! It took me 10 years of post educational self teaching to be able to spell what others would find easy :( I'm still learning 25 years later, keep learning and day by day you'll get there ;)
Oh and I was defending you with the American comment as it's always a possibility ;)
