You also have to make it a criminal offense to change metric signs back to imperial, or else anything gained by the Irish experience as far as cost is concern will be voided.

This is why it is so important to get metric signs at least legal in the UK. That way, the waste of spending money on new imperial distance signs can be avoided, and the overall cost of metrication reduced. Of course the BWMA know this, which is why they will firmly oppose such legalization despite their normal argument that both should systems be allowed coexist. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Wade | EMail: tee dot wade at eurokom dot ie EuroKom | Tel: +353 (1) 296-9696 A2, Nutgrove Office Park | Fax: +353 (1) 296-9697 Rathfarnham | Disclaimer: This is not a disclaimer Dublin 14 | Tip: "Friends don't let friends do Unix !"
