My then wife was using our car for her own reasons at one point in 2019 or so,
and living on the border I rented a Citroën in Northern Ireland since that was
the closest business that would do that for me. It was a UK model, and its
digital speedometer was in miles per hour with nothing in the manual to suggest
how to change that. So for four or five days I was doing the mental arithmetic
in the opposite direction from my norm. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of
things, but an annoyance.
