... but they've given a mile. Yes, that's the news today - the EU have got bored of trying to persuade Brits to change from imperial to metric, that they've finally given up. Fabulous. I may be of the metric generation, but tell me to bake a cake with 1/2lb of flour and 4oz of sugar and I'll know what you're talking about. Give it to me in grams and I'd actually have to think about it.

I'm also amused by this article. Now, there's a debate on BBC Oxford about whether the view of Didcot Power Station is one of the worst edifices in the country. Rubbish, I actually think it's pretty beautiful. Well, in the way only a power station can be beautiful. The view from the M40, looking over the Oxfordshire plain wouldn't be the same without Didcot (you know, the bit where the sheep stand on the edge of the cliff and end up with one leg longer than the other...). Anyway, apparently Didcot is one of the healthiest places to live, by life expectancy. It seems living next to a power station isn't such a bad thing. Now, that's good to hear since I was brought up in the shadow of Didcot.

I'm enjoying HK so far. All well and good. More on that over the weekend... (i.e. when I actually do more than walk from my apartment to the Office!). I do have the most fabulous view from the 43rd floor overlooking HK harbour though!
