Why can`t you put heights in feet ,distances in miles ? I hate any metric crud , I am English , I want my birth right measurements! Anyhow aircraft fly in feet & distances nautical miles , all notams are in nm & feet for aircraft info , thats a danger area for pilots ! Check it out you will see I am right !

Napoleon got those metric measurements wrong. The Royal Navy Hydrographic Department had already surveyed most of the world in Imperial measurements, before he came on the scene. 1 degree lat & long ,is divided into 60 mins ( of a degree).Each degree is 60 nautical miles lat , long is squashed nearer the poles.The O.S. was also originally surveyed in Imperial , they just converted the original measurements to metric. If those measurements are so rubbish , why are they still in use on land & sea , why havn`t all buildings of English construction measurements throughout the world & still in use in North America fallen down then ? Including sending men to the moon , all done in Imperial , I REST my case !

I thought BBC 1 HD had no regional variations in England , yet I am getting Look East Inside Out, on both HD & SD ,has there been a sudden change ?

Ok , thanks ,normally it defaults to captions,with sounds of ,birdsong , planes , & helicopters, when regional news is on,I did not know it was being networked on HD too .

I have noticed since friday on BBC 1 SD ,that the guide menu has put in your local news region in the banner title so have BBC 1 East now as well as London . Did you know Freeview was going to do that ? ITV still says ITV . no region indication .Don`t know if they already had that in the Scottish Region .
