That was the most popular write-in vote when we had a survey for our license plate slogan.

"My" snow started melting right after it fell. It's almost all gone now

.

After all, I guess snow doesn't fall in normal weather conditions at your home that's why you like snow. Here, only children like it

Good news for me. I have a CHF10 bill stuck to my fridge with a magnet.

There would be no reason to renumber the exits on Interstates and freeways. Ideally they would be in metric, but they would still be useful if they were left in miles.

Saskatchewan changed all its signs to metric in the 1970s, with the exception of the ubiquitous "Townname 1" signs that are one mile from any town, village or hamlet, marking what services the town has (e.g. fuel, hotels, pay telephones, restaurants, etc.) for travelers. (We don't bother for cities because cities obviously have all of these things, but towns don't always.) They are still a mile from the towns. The province was originally going to change them to 2 km, but really, there wasn't much point. A mile and a km are not that different (at least for this purpose), and the purpose is to warn people that the town is coming up. I suppose that if the signs wear out, they could change them to "Townname 1.5 km" but I doubt they will bother changing them, and I agree that there is little point.
