Well, true, but then, they only changed the speed limits in the last 2
or 3 years or so. The snag they face is that as a small country that
shares much with Great Britain, such as driving on the left, they're
not a big enough import market for foreign car makers to produce a
special version, with UK-oriented controls but EU SI instrumentation.
But it will probably come in time. At some point, the now largely
SI-based UK will have to adopt SI speed limits and so forth.

People
don't want to be bothered to convert their recipes into units of
kilograms and liters, among other excuses. The power of resistance to
change should seem especially obvious to anyone that reads this mailing
list. :
Try Ireland (eire) for size..
the speed limits and distances are in Kilometers, the cars indicate
mile per hour.. go figure that for
consistency...
