I'm just not going to let this get to me.

However, as a protest I'm not ever going to use the word "hectopascal" on the radio (never said "millibar" before either, come to think about it).

So when I read back the altimeter setting numbers they think I'll be going along with their little plan and setting their nice, shiny little, EU mandated "hectopascals".

But all along I'll be thinking "Millibars, yeh!"

Sometimes I'm so rebellious I even surprise myself....
