Just as I thought I'd seen it all, in the last week it has now been announced that the so-called metric martyr Janet Devers has decided to appeal against her recent conviction. Quite what she hopes to achieve in unclear, although what is clear is that the recent comments by John Denham (MP for Southampton and Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills) and the subsequent stories in the press which make it sounds as though imperial measures are suddenly again legal!

I've missed a week again... work and personal commitments again but also the fact that there has been on news story on my mind and I wanted to see how it played out in the press. It's the continuing saga of the bunch who style themselves the Metric Martyrs.
