I suspected as much, and much as WRT the metric
system and driving on the right I don't blame
Nappy, although I got a chip on my shoulder for
imerialists generally.
FWIW I think it would be convenient if all of
Europe from the Atlantic to the Volga had one

same side (don't matter which), although some
people may come down with unbearably early
sunrises and sunsets.
