Despite the justification for metrication of 'we do it to help foreign tourists' from the likes of Portsmouth City Council and others, one of the towns most visited by foreign tourists, Cambridge, has dozens if not 100 or more black-and-white finger post signs all over the city centre with _all _ distances given in miles, fractions of a mile or yards.

Surely worthy of a 'gold award' or 'Inch Perfect' award or some other recognition from British Weights and Measures Association?

Despite the lead taken by Cambridge City Council, Queens College creates an incongruous note with some fairly new signs giving metric distances to various parts of the college; distances include '180 metres', '110 metres', '70 metres' and '20 metres' on 4 different signs (there may be more)
