And purely by coincidence the number he considered safe was always greater than the one on the lollipop.

So do you.

You used to publish reminders about them.

I don't know of that place, but I'll look it up on Google Streetview.

Are there many / any other villages with a 60mph street running through
the middle of them?

Is this what you meant?

Norton Ferris turns out to be a location, rather than a village with
houses and a street passing through. It's more like buildings here and
there - certainly not in the form that anyone would call a "street" -
astride a B-road.

And even then, that B-road is NOT subject to the NSL as you claimed.

See the Streetview (that's a misleading phrase, by the way) of the place
(with its non-NSL speed limit) at:

<https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.1276154,-2.3019527,3a,75y,169.57h,72.54t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKSKuF1NVbHgTLoyGu-sU-Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en>

You need to stop doing that. Or at least, if you can't stop, stop
boasting about it.

That's right. It isn't. Especially not in the depths of winter.

You once said 'Upton Scudamore' was your favourite village name. Before the Warminster bypass was build it was NSL.

The A36 doesn't run through Upton Scudamore. It's a mile north of that road.

He was still baying at speed limit signs when he was in a wheelchair with a morphine drip in his arm.

That isn't what you stated.

In case you didn't know, the A36 Salisbury to Bath road never passed
through Upton Scudamore, before or after the building of the Warminster
bypass.

So thank you for proving my point.

when you travelled from Warminster to Westbury there were road signs saying Upton Scudamore and the road was NSL.

Anyone remember Paul Smith (and his specialist copyright lawyer) who advocated using dead people to avoid speeding convictions.

Ah yes - the "Safespeed" founder who was often a guest of the late Talk Radio presenter Mike Dickin who died in a car crash in 2006 - it's how he wanted to die. A year after Dickin died, Smith himself was dead.

Here is the gut-wrenching tribute from Pistonheads.

When a dozy bouncer was flashed by a speed camera as he broke the limit, he took drastic action.

Adrian Smith, 46, set fire to the machine because he wrongly thought the driving offence would lead to a ban.

Police, who used number plate recognition cameras to trace the offender, went to his home to quiz him about the arson – and they found a cannabis farm in his basement.

He has now been jailed for two years for drug offences and starting the fire.

If he had just accepted his punishment for breaking the limit he would have faced a speed awareness course not a ban.

Judge Sean Morris told him: “These speed cameras save lives. People who set fire to them must realise the consequences are a hundred times worse than taking the fine.”

Smith was doing 68mph in a 60mph zone when he activated the camera on the A57 near Lincoln in February.

He thought he had six points on his licence and was convinced that being caught speeding would result in a ban under the totting up procedure.

He torched the camera the next day by setting tyres on fire. The machine was ruined.

Lincoln crown court heard that it was only when Smith was quizzed by police that he discovered he had just three points on his licence.

Smith, of Shireoaks, Notts, admitted arson, producing cannabis and possessing the drug with intent to supply.

Martin Keys, defending, told the court : “He has always been very remorseful.”
