I pass on these priceless and verbatim lines from Gary Rustell, 'Graphics Manager' of the Support Services Department of West Sussex County Council:

"It has been the policy within West Sussex County Planning Department, and now the Environment and Development Department, wherever practical, to place the metric measurement before the imperial equivalent in its publications...these publications are widely used by our European visitors and the way we deal with measurements is entirely appropriate...[in] this metricated county"


Tony Bennett

Sorry, the heading should have read: "West Sussex - A Metricated County"
