Just finished watching on one of my local PBS stations an episode of a
British TV series called Noah's Ark about a country vet and his
entourage.
According to the unofficial web site

To all,
I just sent this to the letters editor of the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Atlanta 10 kilometer race held on July
4th each year is constantly referred to as a 6.2 mile race. I hope that

Apologies. I had forgotten about that. Perhaps I can now say 'you should
join the UKMA and get the UK mailing list'.

I can not find on my computer. However, Marcus appears to want to
