You may have seen the recent discussion on this blog regarding metrication. It certainly appears to have captured the attention of the readership. I received the letter below this morning:

"Dear Mr Corbett,

The opinion Poll in Metro regarding metrication of road signs was in fact bombed. The reason I know this is that I did my best to flight the individual responsible. Perhaps it is the same person that pointed out the poll to you. You will find when Metro reported on the poll it was 50% for and 50% against, having been mostly pro-metric the days before. This obviously spurred some sad individual on to "bomb" the poll, hence it being the no1 voted for poll. I do think all reference to this "poll" should be removed from your comments."

I'll leave you to make your own minds up!
