I guess we're worse than the Brits. We started to go metric, then changed our minds.

It's good to see England in the news with Prince William becoming engaged. I'm glad to see him finally catch a break in life ;-)

>130kph- the sensible Europeans went metric ages ago, though the Brits still use miles rather than km. ;-)

>>>I am so annoyed. I got nailed last week by a camera at a red light. The camera takes photos of every car and license plate going through certain lights. If you were after the red -- which I was, by two seconds turning right -- they send you a $100 ticket in the mail. You can contest it but if found guilty it goes up to $200. There doesn't seem like much point to that if they have your car and license plate, plus the red light, on camera.
