What bit of the South edge? I'm on the top right-hand corner (Aubervilliers, no it's not as bad as "they" will have you know!) 01 48 46 25 74.

are still using imperial (unless metric parts are cheaper and they use a mix
of both) or the French would be using some weird system just to be difficult.
Had a look on the wiki page for the meter, they sent someone to the north
pole to get a measurement for the damn thing (and got it wrong) amongst god
only knows how many other arguments and re-evaluations, it's a wonder they
didn't end up turning it into a particular shade of blue-green light too.
Kind of liked the one about a 1 meter pendulum swinging once per second
though, a watch, a bit of string and a lump of something and you have a
fairly accurate standard.

Cheers Jon, I'm a bit slow today. I think trying to get a 16bit millimeter may
have fried something :)
