I discovered it was only in the Harbour (sic) area. However, while exploring, I came across the following page, which gives the rates for private marina berths in UK pounds per square meter: http://www.yorkshireports.co.uk/content/scarborough/leisure/pb_prices.aspx As the site is a government one, the use of metric units is unsurprising, but it's gratifying nonetheless. I was thinking that, if Yorkshire Ports can get it right, there's no reason NASA (and Boeing) can't also. Bill Bill Potts W FP Consulting Roseville, CA http://metric1.org [SI Navigator]
