Oh thank you, European Parliament!

You're so kind and considerate! How would we ever manage without you?

One question: if the EU is taking measures to "protect" our metric system, who was threatening it?

I must admit that after three years of living on the continent, I am more inclined to think in terms of kilometres than miles. But otherwise it's all pounds, feet and inches; a childhood addiction to watching wrestling on television saw to that! Funny how Hulk Hogan's weight was always billed as being 303 lbs over a period of several years, apparently never changing at all ...

Anyway, I'm off for a pint.
