Don't change the signs, change the units! As the 2nd car sped past me at 60 mph a few inches from my elbow I had this thought..
Lets just change the speed limit units and keep all the existing signs, all we would have to do is buy some 180 kph signs from the continent for motorways and the whole country would be safer - 30 kph is about 20 mph, 60 kph is about 40mph, lets do it tomorrow!

holiday report Took the kids and dogs to Cornwall on holiday this year. We stayed in
the village of newtown-in-St.Martin near Goonhilly, nice little
place but the cars do speed through there especially at night. Lots of
small lanes to walk the dogs and children. Local pub with good beer but
sadly never did any food whilst we were there.
Things we did..
Took the ferry from Falmouth up to the National Trusts Trelissick
Gardens, even got the dogs on the boat..
Fal River Links.
Went crabbing on the inner pier at porthleven. I say the inner pier as
we read a warning about freak waves on the outer pier and Looe bar. The
dogs got a bit bored but the kids got 20 crabs each time.
Went to Mylor key crabbing off the quay at the back of the car park,
got loads of large crabs there. The only down side was a mans dog
attacked Finn and then got beaten in front of the children upsetting
the younger one - he should have bought the dog a lead rather than hit
it.
We went to East side of Kennack Sands a few times, slightly ruined by
other people's dogs being off their leads roaming the beach causing our
pair to bark a lot. Oh yes and they hate kites..
We went to Hayle beach but had to leave when a kite flyer decided to
practice on the empty beach right over the dogs.
We went to Chysauster ancient settlement on a wet day.
We went to a dog allowed beach near Church cove a few times as
the sand had some streams that were ideal for damming and the rock
pools were interesting, also a good walk allong the headland to the
Halzephron Inn and back.
Ate lots of pasties and I drank some beer.
Had lunch in the Blue Anchor in in Helston a few times.
Cycled up the 1in 5 from helford village a few times.
