Just thought i'd drop a note to let you know that http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/ , Evening Chronicle, The Journal and Sunday sun newspapers website have changed their weather info from mph to kph.

What's odder is that you can see the temps in Fahrenheit - but the speeds still say kph (kilo-pico-hours?!?).

Its probably a software "thing".

Well spotted Steve. You are learning slowly. Maybe one day you will understand why they should have written "km/h".

"You are learning slowly"

Hmmm - I was taught it at school - you weren't.

So indeed - you are learning it slowly martin!!!

;-)

when I went to the site, all the temps were in degrees Celsius. If I wanted old fashion units, I had to click on "Show temp. in °F". In other words, "F" is the afterthought and degrees Celsius is the primary unit.

See below:

This is the only ocassion when Calry gets disturbingly excited.

Quite alarming really.

And hugely sad.
