[Stephen Davis]

Well hush my mouth!!  The last time I was in Ireland was 2004.   I can't believe I wasn't aware that they'd changed the speed limits in 2005 to KPH!!!   One of the very few times I'm overjoyed to be proved wrong!!! :-)   Regards,   Steve.

I thought they already fixed that?  Wasn't last year the big change over?   http://www.gometric.ie/   The above web site says that 2005-01-20 was the 'big day'...I remember it being all over the news and being discussed on this list.   Richard   In a message dated 2006-03-10 13:53:56 Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: No, at the moment Ireland is mostly metric but not totally metric. For instance, they have signposts in kilometres but speed limits are measured in MPH!!!! I believe they intend to address the above anomaly in the near future. Regards, Steve. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
