still do pounds and stone - can do a rough calculation of kg - but it still doesn't feel right (but then I am staring 60 ahead so that's how we were tought) Miles are more familiar than KM, but I can do the conversion quickly , but don't ask me about shillings, thrupenny bits, sixpences, farthings or anything - remember them as a kid but I was 5/6 when we got proper money.
There was a bloke around where I used to live in Leeds who was 7’5”. Built like Peter Crouch with an apple for a head. First time I saw him was when I stopped at a Zebra crossing on Tong Rd and he crossed it in about two strides, like something from outer space, proper wtf moment. On a later occasion he turned up at one of our street parties in a mini metro and kind of unfolded himself out of the passenger seat. Also did a stint in jail and they had to custom make him a bed, which made the local paper.
Was his name Danny?
Will depend on whether the cameras work , when they made the Lea Bridge Road 20, most drivers ignored it , after a few months of points & fines , it is not ignored any more.
Average speed cameras are extremely efficient. Single speed cameras, all painted yellow and made prominent on purpose, are not much of a deterrent to anyone with less than nine points on their licence. Even less so if you commute along the route every day and know it well.
