I assume that a large proportion of no-voters are members of the BWMA and/or the UKIP. They know what they want and will vote on this issue whenever they get the chance. 2340 votes are not very convincing.   I am back from Ireland now. When I go back next year I hope that road metrication will have been accomplished. However, I would like to be there if that happens. I will go back anyway for a week in the last week of February. I wonder how soon the mpg will be buried after road metrication? But the kilomile (used in car ads indicating the distance a car has already covered) will only go slowly with the replacement of mile-odometers.   Han   ----- Original Message ----- From: MightyChimp To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Sunday, 2004-07-25 19:18 Subject: [USMA:30516] Latest NEWS   Latest news (July 9th 2004) Teletext poll shows 93% oppose scrapping of mile and pint A phone in poll conducted by ITV's teletext service found 93% of 2,340 callers opposed the idea of doing away with traditional measurements, such as pints and miles.
