I must admit shock at seeing your photo of the dual-unit speed limit sign, though! This is quite bizarre. One would think that if the government is switching sides to promote the importation of right-hand drive cars from Pacific nations (all of which use the metric system exclusively, so speedometers are km-only), promotion of metric-only signage would make more sense (existing US-made vehicles should have dual-unit speedometers, so km/h-only signage would be fine). Perhaps these signs are temporary for the period of reduced speeds? It's interesting (and sad?) to see that the UK is not the only country with muddled measurements (we are mainly 'metricated', but the road signs are largely imperial, yet fuel is sold by the litre!). It's a mess. Ireland completed the changeover in signage four years ago, and I wish we would do the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887555929896595108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11176900.post-85153632897851635992009-09-08T19:02:37.890-11:002009-09-08T19:02:37.890-11:00ditto to the other comments, your blog was the bes...ditto to the other comments, your blog was the best update i had on the switch :) faafetai lava Matt! good luck and be careful good to know your sister got to the airport safely.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074939175866702445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11176900.post-88126834613535328742009-09-07T19:46:24.756-11:002009-09-07T19:46:24.756-11:00Nice blog,
