We knew them as 44 gallon drums. Upon metrication, they became 205 litres, which didn't sound so good as, a 44. Is that the same size?

One of the ads bragged that a 44 gallon drum would fit in the boot, and it did, never mind that the dashboard fell off into you lap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-14797318909585838492018-03-24T11:48:43.748+00:002018-03-24T11:48:43.748+00:00We have a burn barrel at our cottage that sits on ...We have a burn barrel at our cottage that sits on a cement patio stone.
