   I, for one, find all this tolerance really intolerable.

   And our eiserne Kanzlerin will indeed take your kilometre, but — at least based on the Greek example — she might only make you pay for 500 metres.

   That’s 546.80 pre-decimalised yards to you, Englander.

   Don’t you mean 546 and 13/16 yards, Tscherman?

   Phew! Good job I smashed that funny-looking foreign bloke’s head in yesterday rather Wednesday.
