Mile vs Kilometre ... Various Poll Results

Looks like the UK Metrication Association's attempt at 'stimulating debate' has turned into a spectacular own goal.
Here are the results of various polls:

AOL News: 30,000 voted, 82.5% pro-mile, 17.5% pro-kilometre

ITV Teletext p. 347: 1,300 voted 96% pro-mile, 4% pro-kilometre

‘This Morning’ poll 97% pro-mile, 3% pro-kilometre

Daily Express poll, overwhelming support for the mile, said to be 95%-plus

Sky News poll, again overwhelming support for the mile, no precise figures given out.

great! the perfect excuse to speed!
I see a 70 sign and to me that means 70 MPH, end of story, after being educated in the Imperial system where Kms etc have absolutely no meaning to me
can't wait, bring it on I say
after Driving in MPH for the last 40 odd Years why should I ever change to a Foreign system that is illegal here?
