I've yet to come across a metre of ale.

Strangely, I have, in southern France. Very nice it tasted too, although it
was a little warm by the end!

Why do UK car speedometers show miles per hour? Why are distances
shown on roads and maps shown as miles?

Historical reasons. Ireland is changing over. I can't wait until we're next!

Why? What possible benefit is there fore this disgraceful waste of taxpayer's
money?

Possibly because it's going to happen one day
