@DavidPostill Not sure if that was setup for a further pun, afraid I've got nothing!
Though AIUI they considered changing the signs over at some point?
but was deemed to be too costly or somesuch
and nowadays it would be in the [tens of] billions to do, probably
there's an article in the Grauniad which says the "UK Metric Association" estimates it would cost only ('only') £80m
maybe it was the estimated cost for switching driving side to the right
which is better because something something Napoleon hated the British?
or because he was left handed
or another reason entirely
