I heard that cars driving on the right would be brought in experimentally in July... and if the experiment is a success then lorries, vans and buses would change over in January.

Is anything more detestable than change for changes sake?

I wish we could stop the media in general from using the metric system,10 cm of snow sound f all,but 4 inches sounds like trouble.

But they still use differing units for temperature headlines, 70's fahrenheit sounds hotter than 20's centigrade, but in the winter sub zero centigrade sounds colder than 20's fahrenheit.

A few years ago I went to buy a replacement timber window frame, the width from wal to wall was 4’ and a quarter of an inch, so I neede a 4’ frame.
The frames are now 1200mm, a direct replacement, I was told. Which of course would have left nearly an inch space..... I went to a different supplier, who offered both. So the building industry’s conversion of 4’ = 1.2 mtrs may be ok for new builds, but not for older properties.
