Well Done BBC Look North's Colin Briggs

It is unbelievable the lengths the BBC has gone to this past week in its desperate attempt to give legs to the UK Metrication Association's preposterous idea to metricate the country's roads.

However, every poll is slaughtering the idea BUT the BBC is intent on furthering the pro-metric agenda wherever possible.

In usual politically correct fashion, this morning's weather forecast on national BBC Breakfast stated that there could be up to 10cm of snow on the way.

However, cut to the North East's Breakfast Bulletin that followed. Presenter, Colin Briggs told the North East viewers that there was 4 inches of snow on the way.

Nice one Colin.
