    As Broadside pointed out, but I guess you missed it, it's not about learning it's about inconsistency. We can live with either date format but we wish they'd pick just ONE.

    Consistency is not apparent... love of sheep is consistent with some

    Consistency includes accountabilty too.. I do not think "accountability" translates here as a word, it has no meaning. Why learn anything when every month there are new rules....?

    "you Americans will just have to learn as I had too for the past 4.5 years hahahahaah" -talking about length of time it took to learn the date system here - Brian Aussie

    Do not worry about the Americans, they learn fast. it won't take them 4.5 years to learn the new system system.

    Speaking about "date systems": How many years did it take to learn that there were no sheep here in the Philippines? O-| The long hair goats here on the island must have been nervous for a long time. :confused: Hahahahahaaaa

    Nup I didn't miss it I was just having some fun with the new date format, which can be very confusing, I and others have come unstuck with it, as I am sure others that have grown up with the American style format and now start using the English style will have a lot of fun.

    Not for long I think

    Running true to form, these people at the BOI will get fed up with so many mistakes, they will revert to the original style. Of course they will not tell everyone in time and then a new mess will occur. :rolleyes:

    ok sheep f------ it did not take me 4.5 years to learn it, it is the time I have lived in PH. Also I still use the English style date format in my business so yes one has to be careful, oh BTW you as a Newzealander will be very very happy to know there is sheep In Baclod near the airport, so If you are entering or exiting the Philippines maybe you could use Bacolod a/p and keep yourself amused and have a date with your wooly friends, I bet your luggage bags are lined with wool? Oh long haired goats how did they compare to sheep???? You are talking from experience I am sure, but be careful with your reply as this is a family forum.

    OH Dear, summer is Here, Tempers agog

    O--O WOW I guess we are coming into, the Nationality Bashing Season:p

    Not sure we have any Welsh members, They may have had a thing or two to say, on the Sheep front:confused:

    They would not take it lying down though (More Likely to get banned) so I guess we will not learn, if there are any!

    Must be the Weather, to raise hackles like this, If there were sheep in the BOI office, I guess we would all be asleep counting them, or maybe not, if one of you two, were attending:D maybe I will just sit and wait for my extension and hope I get the right date format :wink:


    JP:(
