It shows that they teach the metric system in English schools, doesn't it? I thought it was 1000ft to a mile

You make a good point Krashkart, it's a shame but it is true. It must be the fact that the fate of the Gulf coast is in the hands of BP which rankles many, but they have the resources and hopefully they'll have the ability to stop this.
All we can do is watch and wait.
