Very interesting, Ted. When I was last in England everything seemed to be metric, it's been metric in Ireland for many, many years. I know that British screw sizes are still available but assumed that they are just replacements for crappy old MGs or Morris Minors. Gee, is there anything worse than an English car? Incoming, Incoming. Take cover.
