Hi, Lawrie.

Sorry my friend, I am no number-cruncher and I'm proud to admit it ;-)

Aw, why not? It's fun! What's more, I'm going to do it anyway...

£15.65 divided by £0.76 (price per litre) equals 20.6 litres.
Multiplied by 1.76 equals 36.2 pints.
Divided by 8 equals 4.5 UK gallons
Minus 25% equals 3.4 US gallons.

Do I get a cigar now?

Cheers,

Dave Hill
