(23,434 posts)21. A trick question in England
First of all, if you drive 80mph in England, you will drive into the ocean before the hour's up. Plus, traffic cameras will cause your family to receive speeding tickets after you're drowned.
Second, they don't have miles in England, only kilometers. So you need to divide by five and multiply by eight, or is the other way 'round.
