Now you are all making me very depressed -
The speed limit over large parts of the UK has been reduced to 40mph (60kmh),
by local councils armed with thousands of gatsos (speed cameras) in a bid to
raise revenue and show how 'safety friendly' they are.
As well as the environmental damage such speed limits cause, driving is no fun any more :-(
