I read with interest the latest story in Politics.ie about the new by-pass that has been built to shorten commute times on a major roadway in Ireland.

My guess is that a comparable story in the UK as reported by the BBC would use "miles" only or at best would use both Imperial and SI units (in some order).
 
Can't wait for the official changeover of Irish speed limit signs!
