As per the "what age" poll - the family had an agreement that I would look to retiring the bike when I hit 60. I kind of know it's not a bad decision. M/C fatalities and accidents are increasing even though the age of getting a m/c licence has increased and getting a licence is challenging (i.e. Govt making it very difficult). They would basically like it if there were no m/c's. Our roads are very crowded too, and car drivers (and I am one) often don't see bikes, even though we have "Think Bike" signs all over the place. One change in regulation a few years ago helped - banning twin headlights. Believe it or not, a driver making a quick glace before pulling out saw twin headlights but the brain says "its a car 500 yards away" when in reality, its a bike 50 yards away. You can guess the rest.
We still have MPH and still drive on the correct side of the road as well. But what is weird is that plumming pipe is metric (mm) but fittings are imperial. Same with wood. I was building a new internal door, so went to order the wood for skirting and frame. Same wood, but skirting was in mm and the doorway was in inches as doors are still 72" high as standard. FFS if we went metric why not go the whole hog in one go?
EXCEPT - We can still buy a PINT OF BEER which is as it should be.
Ours is 20 fl oz, yours is 16 so . . . . . . we get drunk quicker!

p.s. I am raising a glass in a few minutes with my supper as it is the Queen's Ceremonial Birthday today.
