Names and dates of relevant *UK* legislation, please - and penalties for
non-compliance. >> You know they eminate from EU legislation. You also know the acts. You know that only certain things are "allowed" to be in imperial and you also know that by "derogation" it means "not for now" rather than "never". I don't quite understand why you are quizing me on something that you should naturally support in a method where you want to try to prove me wrong and thus try to trip me up to make it look like there is no compulsion. Surely you've noticed what happens when the compulsion to go metric 'element' is missing? Read your recent 'publication' >Why would contractors using metric units since the 60s not want to continue >doing so, especially as all engineers have been educated in metric since >then? Erm - perhaps its because when they want to put up a sign that says "traffic lights 800yds" they are compelled to use metric in the plans and even in the surface measurement and then have to translate the rounded 800yds to metres to comply with all that and then transslate it back into yds for purposes of making the sing? >(My cousin's husband was one of the architects who helped design those > town plans back in the 60s, so I do know what I'm talking about.) I drive a car - enough said. -> The UK has "derogation" on certain things - signposts being one of -> them. -> -> Or are you trying to say that I *could* use imperial notation if I -> were a road contractor? I believe you know that I could not - possibly -> with the intention of entrapment. >No comment ;-) Usual stuff then.
