Madam, - From tomorrow, life in Ireland will never be the same as we bid farewell to miles.
The change doesn't stop with road signs. Fast talkers will be speaking a kilometre a minute; we will now mark kilometrestones in our lives; the longest kilometre will be the last kilometre home, and our disoriented minds will be kilometres away.
Give someone an inch and they'll take a kilometre. Wrong guesses will be kilometres out. Al Jolson fans will now have to walk a million kilometres for one of those smiles, and the more risqué may attempt to join the kilometre-high club. Yours, etc.,
DEREK COBBE, Earl Street, Longford.
