To whom did they make such a promise? Did they put it in writing and sign it? Or was it hear-say and wishful thinking on our part? There is no way they could have made an appearance at the forum. If they did, they would have spoken out against metric only labelling and as a result they would have exposed their true motives to the enemies of FFU. You will see that as 2010 looms, they will be there to make sure there is either another delay or better yet from their point of view an elimination of the directive. This is why I support a strong Euro and a unified or stronger bond of the European nations. It is this strength that will kick the tabbed in the ass, with a good, hard swift kick! I really wish all of the TABD companies would go bankrupt. And the TABD people fighting metrication would end of on the streets eating from garbage cans. It would serve them right. It was good to see that the forum had participants from the EU. This shows that they still consider the issue serious and are willing to make sure the directive goes into force this time. We can all support the EU by buying EU metric products and BOYCOTTING any product that is made by a TABD company. Do you part to force them out of business.
