Dear Fighter,
I have to correct some of the things I have said in the past about the "ENGLISH". A couple, two to be precise, I wondered why the hell Windsor Great Park had a 38mph speed limit.
Now, I have the answer from the park authorities.
It turns out, the "Park", the most "ENGLISH" thing you could imagine (state estate of the QUEEN) was already looking ahead in 1973 when it introduced a metric speed limit of 60km/h. However, it was set back by the common law which stated that signage had to be in MPH. Therefore, the closest thing to 60km/h was 38mph.
The only question I would ask: Why the hell did they not take the piss and posted a 37,28227 mph speed limit. I guess, they are ENGLISH after all.
PROOF
Keep Fightin'
