John:
Mr Herron had already sent me a similar letter some weeks ago, and
offered me the chance to have a public debate with him. I sent him a
reply, expressing the sentiments you give above, along with the usual
stuff about having had at least 10 years' notice of the changes, I had
been taught metric since 1969 etc. I never received a further reply
from him.
Mr Herron has several contributions along these lines on the UKIP Web
forum.
>BTW, what is a codswallop?
Bullshit!
