Subject: Marathon in Athens Madam,
I read the item about the marathon last Sunday and
read about distances in miles and markers in miles. The Greeks do not use
British Imperial units and the markers were all in kilometres. I
have always appreciated the use of the metric system in news items from metric
countries by the Irish Times. Please, do not slide back from this
commendable practice.
Yours,
