I'm pretty sure that was an urban legend (or as best, an unwarranted fear voiced at the time). There were a lot of similar myths in circulation when the EU started to campaign for more conformity between member nations. There was one totally false rumour that computer keyboards in Spain would no longer be allowed to have a tilde key. CE standards do apply to how accurate you are about selling a "pint", but don't affect what unit of measure you use. British road signs are still in miles and miles per hour. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
