I have seen a 20 mph sign in the Chunnel Terminal on the French side that
ought to be obliterated of course. But, any signs are in a heavily guarded
area,  and the Imperial sign was on a road to a train ramp. Anyone who tries
to destroy or obliterate that sign, is caught at the act and then has to
stand trial would be a real Metric Martyr!

 For your information :

 ELY DEMETRICATION OPERATION

 The limerick to commemorate the 10 November 'Ely
strike' goes as follows:

 Ely found metric signs hard
 The U.K.I.P. said: 'They're barred!'
So without  much ado
Using plates and some glue
They changed them to miles and to yards.
