Pint Bottles Of Champagne – The Brexit Benefit So Good That It Continues To Feature Daily In The Daily Mail

[Hymie]

My bet is no producer will go to the expense of having 2 bottling lines, just to produce such a volume that can be sold in the UK.

...It would still be simple arithmetic even if it was tonnes.

[Hymie]

Here is the calculation for the metric equivalent:-

How many 5.1kg in 1,000kg = 196 (in a single calculation; 1,000/5.1).

Show me the simple imperial calculation (using an imperial ton to make it easy).

Never mind the calculations Hymie, how about following the link you put on in the first place which is about making Brexit work and not try to derail it at every opportunity as you have been doing.

[Hymie]

The only way Brexit will have any chance of working is if we turn ourselves into North Korea, with a similar level of poverty as their citizens.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh you are a card. But try to find leg pulls on other subjects as this one is a bit stale.

[Hymie]

Because some fool says ‘Make Brexit work’ – doesn’t mean that you can polish a turd.

You lot are missing out . You can buy it in litre bottles here.

Hymie - are you drunk or in the early stages of dementia? Just askin'.

Hymie at 09.44 "Because some fool says ‘Make Brexit work’ – doesn’t mean that you can polish a turd."  It was the link that you put on that you wanted us to look at.

"Imagine having individual consignments, each weighing 11Ib 3 ½ oz, and having to calculate how many can be shipped in a container limited to 30 tons?"

The answer is 5,989 (rounded down so as not to exceed the 30 ton limit). The couple of additional calculations required will help keep your mind alert. 🤣

You could just as well ask "Imagine having individual consignments, each weighing 5.088kg, and having to calculate how many can be shipped in a container limited to 30 tonnes?" You’d get roughly the same answer (only roughly, because 30 tonnes is not precisely equivalent to 30 tons). 

Since you seem to be interested in containers and the like, you probably know that standard intermodal shipping containers are provided in “Twenty Foot Equivalents” (TELs). The standard size is twenty feet (6.09m) long. I’m sure you’d agree that a 6.09 metre equivalent does not have quite the same ring about it. 

However, not for the first time, we digress ever so slightly.
 

[Hymie]

NJ – I think you’ll find your answer is way off the mark (you might like to recalculate).

 

To be fair, I also got the wrong answer first time, but only realised because 11lb 3 ½ oz is close to 5kg,

 

At least we can agree that the metric system makes such calculations much easier.

[Hymie]

Doh, I forgot the 30 tons bit – so my calculation was for 1 ton, but still much easier (1,000/5.1) X 30 = 5882, show your working to be as simple as that.
