If I am not mistaken, this coming Monday is a red letter date on both sides
of the Atlantic.

In the US, it is the day the Stock Market must complete its switch to
decimalization.  All have already converted but NASDAQ, which is waiting to
the last minute.  I'm sure they hoped for a reprieve, but it doesn't look
like one is coming.

In the UK, the court decision on the martyrs will be announced.  I see a
favourable outcome for metric.  Only because a decision in Parliament to
remove the law abolishing Imperial supplemental declarations after 2009 was
defeated by a good majority.  Any news appearing in the media on this front
as the day approaches, or is all quiet on the martyr front?

John

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.

There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
