Metric Changeover

I didn’t realise they were doing a big metric changover of road signs in Ireland! Shiite! It’s one of those small but somewhat significant things I enjoy about going home, using miles instead of kilometers. I’ve always thought it was of those interesting oddities about Ireland that we used both systems but now it’s metric only?? :(

    All the signs will be in KM and most of the cars speedometers will still be in miles …
