Why won't the UK change road signs?
- They say they are worried drivers will be confused. I heard somewhere the UK government says they won't change road signs until a majority of British drivers received a metric education (right now a majority of drivers were went to school before metric was introduced)... which apparently is only 10 years or so away... The other issue I think, is they want to change to metric gradually, so that those idiot "anti-metric campaigners" don't get to influence the public too much. The recent requirement that loose goods be sold in metric, led to the "metric martyrs" rubbish: they don't want too much of that too often. -- SJK
