OK... Here goes... 25 tons Just a wild shot in the dark.

TOP GROOVE ....... Pm me your address.... . The first guess was the closest.

[MI-Lineman]

Dam it! I see where in one way you use the multiplier of 8 and another 5? If I used 5 I would have guessed 40t! I guessed 3" diameter so 3 x 3 = 9 x 8 =72t! 3 x 3 = 9 x 5 = 40t!

Why is there two different multipliers? Anyone know? Bren will send you another shirt if ya do!

P.S. MI Lineman............ 9X5 = 45. Are yaa sure your not "IRISH".

[Pootnaigle]

Ummmmmmmm he wuz prolly allowin fer metrik!!!!!!!

[MI-Lineman]

So if your metric ton is 1000lbs (I think?) and our ton over here is 2,000lbs and my original guess was 72 tons which is actually twice your metric ton then 72/2 is 36???? Hmmmm?

As for bein Irish I do like "Irish Car Bombs! (the drink!)" Must've had a few too many tonight? Hiccup!!

[Pootnaigle]

The Americans LOVE their printed shirts and baseball caps. The only thing that is likely to disappoint them with the one you're sending is that it's only got a very subtle "British style" small-print embroidered logo. They generally prefer HUGE logos with "witty" phrases and accompanying graphics.

Ideally your Scottish linemans shirt would show a lineman in a kilt tossing a pole (fully loaded with cross-arms, insulators and a transformer like a caber. It would probably have a phrase like:-

"CLAN POWER! BRAW POWER INSTALLATIONS BY RUGGED HIGHLANDERS!"
