2002-01-20 So, Chris, what happened with the decision on the Thoburn case? Any news? Or is someone holding off until the Euro "proves" itself to be an "utter success"? Meaning, that it can be safe to say that the euroskeptics were full of it and the EU is here to stay and will get stronger, and if we want to be on the inside looking out, we have to conform to their directives. It's in our interest. So, we can feel safe when we say the metric laws are valid and Thoburn is wrong.

It's interesting that the BWMA (on their www.bwmaonline.org site) refer to the TABD as an anti-metrication organisation! Chris -- UK Metric Association: http://www.metric.org.uk/
