Apologies to anyone who may have already seen this, but I sent it yesterday
and it appears to have vanished into thin air, so here it is again!!!

1.) They converted the metres to yards as 1:1 instead of 1:0.9144.  But,
this is common practice anyway.  You now have two definitions of the yard:
One equal to the metre and one less than the metre.

When did this happen, John??  It's certainly news to me!!  If it is indeed
true and the yard can now be defined as the same distance as the metre, then
what are the BWMA complaining about other than one is named yards and the
other is named metres??

Steve.
