| 'Inchworm' from Monmouthshire reports that his letter to Newport Borough Council about four signs reading 'Caution - Lorries turning 200m ahead' - or similar - are now to be converted back to yards, according to a letter received by him today from the Council's Highways Engineer.

This is in addition to a sign in the 'bus station with the distance "15m", which was removed following a similar letter. (Newport, Mon. South Wales).

...yes, some demetricated signs have been remetricated. Our total of 1,566 remains an accurate statement of signs known to have been demetricated up to yesterday.]

It'll soon be 1,760. Then we can celebrate the mile of demetrications!

An ARM member from London called 'Furlong' has twice donated us a 'furlong' of pounds. For the record, a furlong of pounds buys us approx:
* 20 tubes of silicon mastic, or
* around 300 aluminium plates, or
* 12 1-litre [sorry!] tins of cellulose paint, or
* 200 or so 2 1/4" high reflective exterior-quality adhesive white numbers
