The best time and place to tell it was in an English pub with lots of RAF around. The joke went like this: Eveything in England is smaller. The cars are smaller. The trains are smaller. The rooms are smaller The houses are smaller. And they shoot .303's. I don't get it. US forces shot 30-06's, pretty much the same caliber as the .303. ..303 is actually a .311 bullet ..30 caliber is actually a .308 bullet so it doesn't make sense from that perspective but it does make sense if you recall that US aircraft used .50's -- Harry Andreas Engineering raconteur
