Thread Name: BS: Metric Speed Limits (IRL)
Subject: RE: BS: Metric Speed Limits (IRL)
Fuck!
I really opened a bag o cats with this one didn't I!!!

Roll on the metric i say, But the car i have, as most others, the speedo is in Miles, With K's minor underneath, wich means i'll have to mentally travel in mph as i'd have to crane my head towards the dial and squint to see what kph i was doing, probably inviting me to end up in the arse of someone tootling along minding their own buisness. But worry not,as previously mentioned, distance is already measured in K's in Ireland, except in some very rural areas where the very old cast iron signs are in miles, but omitt to tell you this, plus these signs are now finding there merry way onto the walls of Irish pubs all over the world, creating employment for the Fly boy with a spanner. rendering half of rural Ireland totally unsigned.
Now surely the Metric cannot be any more confusing than this!
I await the speeding fines......
