Perhaps Cyprus should use metres as a measurement of distance once it stops using the Turkish 'donum' and discovers the hectare.

Cyprus doesn't use the "donum" but metres and sometimes feet.

Then why do Cyprus propery adverts refer to donums which is, of course, a unit of area as opposed to metres and feet which are units of distance?

I've never seen such ads with “donums”! But anyway, ads are not official.

Once you square metres and feet you get area! m², and if you want to calculate volume such as the requirements for an air-conditioning system, you'll use cubic metres! m3

Here are the first three property websites that came up all using m²!

Cyprus DOES use the unit of metres as a measurement of distance. For the uneducated the Donum as well as hectre are measuresments of area.

The donum is used by many as this is a basic understanding of size, however officially (if you look at title deeds,) the hectre and subset of this are used.

We use the skala, only the english translation is Donum !

I know that Cyprus uses metres but Dangaman said that you use meters.
There is a difference even if you aren't aware of it.

Most of the people on this planet have never heard of donums but it doesn't make them uneducated. You probably meant ignorant of the facts. I am fully aware that donums and hectares are measures of area.
It seems my comment was too subtle for you.

Kindly tell us what is this difference, because in terms of maths, there is zero difference!

The metre (or meter), symbol m, is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).

The excuse that one is for distance while the other is for area is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!

1. A metre is a measure of DISTANCE!

2. A square metre is a measure of AREA!

3. A cubic metre is a measure of VOLUME!

Some of you should go back to primary school!

[Mr. T]

Let's not mention the fact that what was reported was not a true indication of the facts

I pity you if you take as "facts" the word of only those who survived the contact, who happen to be the same people with blood on their hands.

, and that your unsuccessful campaign against Australia was just another Kangaroo Court of shame!

Australia will do a splendid job of shaming herself if it continues to pay mercenaries to murder people in their homes in wars that have nothing to do with australia

Actually, The Afghanis Security Forces were also present. They too have quite a bit to say about the matter, as well as many other ADF soldiers who sustained enemy fire from within a building!

I also don't believe that any Australian soldiers will go out of their way to kill civilians. If it did happen, and they evidence was there, then we would throw the book at them!

The ADF is in Afghanistan for a long time it seems. Until the Afghan Security Forces are fully trained and once they control ALL of Afghanistan and the Taliban does not pose a risk!

Good isn't it?

May Australia continue to follow its brave tradition of fighting for the freedom of others despite giving up the lives of its own people while others are unfortunately, to their shame, so insular.

Long live heroic, fine ANZAC soldiers, Australia and New Zealand.

so why did england not take the euro? the pound is too strong for them to want to swap?

Because they are too nationalistic

This are rather naive comments. Many ignorant of economics believe that
the reason the UK (England is just part of the UK by the way) have not adopted the euro is because it has not made economic sense to do so. It has nothing whatsoever to do with wanting to keep the £ sterling because it is British. Even Gordon Brown who has been a disaster is aware of this.
When the time is right economically the UK will adopt it, providing the euro
survives.

Rubbish!

The reason the UK did not adopt the Euro was because of some ancient, historical pride in the Queen and "sovereignty".

... and now it cannot through mismanagement!

You poor, poor, moron.

Either you possess the ignorance of economics shared with the likes of The Sun and The Mirror readers or I wasted my time studying economics, foreign exchange and finance of international trade, law and accountancy.

These studies certainly served me very well in my professional career so it is undoubtedly the former.

Sadly you probably believe what you say.

It's a shame you feel the need to brag about how clever you are just moments after discovering how clueless you are in basic metre manipulations!
