Hi Tel and All,
The trouble is that the Jobsworths will not let it die.
We have actually already had shop keepers hauled up in court a couple of
years ago for selling their produce by Imperial Weight.
Despite their argument being that the older customers did not understand the
Metric weights, they still got fined.
Just a thought. If Imperial is going to be totally illegal are the
Government going to pay to have all the older Car speedometers changed.
Regards
Clif
