Fourteen per cent?! What I wouldn't do to have a fourteen per cent exchange rate. The hit against the Canadian dollar is twenty-five per cent. Americans might want to keep that in mind before moving here en masse should Donald Trump be elected next Leader of The Free World.
With larger numbers of the elderly entering the ranks it was probably deemed a necessity to use larger numbers. If only to avoid the inevitable "friendly fire". "Alles klar?"
@ Combatintman I am willing to make an exception. Just for you. Have you ever seen numbers painted that big? Anywhere? Even the Bismarck's call numbers were smaller.
