Who's more stupid, the wife or the muppet driving whilst filming using his phone?

Yes. The journey was 80 miles. And we were travelling at 80 mph. And it took us 61 minutes as we stopped for 1 minute to buy some sweets.

A good couple of hours due to outside lane hogging muppets! ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

If I was to go out tomorrow and drive eighty miles at eighty miles an hour for the first time in my life it will have taken me over fifty-two years.

It depends whether you are doing 80mph or just think you are doing 80mph.

Your car speedo registers a higher speed than you are actually doing - you can easily compare this when you have your sat nav on - the speed on there is usually different...

The difference can be up to about 10%.

What if they measure the miles 10% shorter to compensate though. Have you thought about that?

1 hour as the crow flies, but "to go 80 miles" is a little bit ambiguous

Surely that depends how fast the crow is flying though?

And are we talking airspeed or groundspeed?

I don't think that guy has much respect for his girlfriend.

Was the car fueled up on the right side or was the hose stretched over the car? This, as we all know, has a huge impact on everything including how fast you travel.

That was quick! Oh, I know, you're one of those who parks right by the shop doorway despite the double yellow lines...

Amusingly that video spawned a whole host of similar ones with similar disrespect.

This guy has it pretty much down to an art:

I think it's awful that these men are so mean to these poor women, but the pizza one did make me laugh!

[i]but how then do you measure the distance between two places?[/i]

time.

Before rail travel it used to be a 24 hour journey from London to Bristol.

It's now a 24 hour journey from London to Sydney.

Bristol used to be as remote from London as Sydney is now.
