The old "Hampshire Centre" has been revamped and is now known as "Castlepoint" and includes stores such as Asda, Sainsbury's and B&Q etc. The under-cover car parks are all signposted with height restrictions in metres as one approaches from the public roads. I have spoken to and written to the Chief Executive of the company responsible pointing out the requirements of the 2002 Regulations and await a reply. His initial comment on the phone was that he "is not in the habit of erecting illegal signs".

In deference to all those who don't understand metres.

Proposal to ammend 2002 regs.

From now on vehicle height restrictions at car park entrances shall be indicated in hands.

Modern vehicles are the equivalent of the horse that were measured in same units.

This will preserve British culture and ease certain people into the 21st century.

1 hand = 10 cm.

So for example a height limit of 2.2 m becomes 22 hands.

Nay ....

Realistically a joke should be "funny"

See others' posts to get my drift

A hand is four inches, used for measuring the height of ponies.
