Jan, ek stem met jou saam.
(in case you don't read Afrikaans - "Jan, I agree with you). BTW," Jan" is probably short for "Johannes", not "Janet". From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Payne Sent: 24 July 2012 17:03 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:51796] Ireland metrication Read the latest saga in this trip around the world.http://www.landyonline.co.za/off_road/dipli/dilpli_travels.htm Ireland Between Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland there is no border control. Then the road signs were in English and Gaelic. We had to be reminded to use Euros and were happy to see "kilometres" again. Jan thinks the English should be the butt of Irish jokes, because after 40 years they have been incapable of metricating correctly, while the Irish got it right! Written by a South African!
