S'not made easy for us though. When are they going to change the roadsigns so that they show distances in kilometers instead of miles? How come car mileage statistics have changed from miles per hour to litres per hundred kilometres, when roads are still in miles? S'hard enough trying to think in one set of units, but if'n they keep changing when you're not looking it doesn't get any easier. Specially if your head had to be specially trained to think of mileage in litres per ten kilometer (swedish mile) distances.

Moan winge. and why don't they straighten out all the roads in Wales. And make them wider. With street lights so you can see where you're going, and pavements to keep pedestrians out of the way? and make it all a lot flatter?

Wales (174.22) doesn't do flat.
