Think you will find that shot was taken in Canada where they use km.

Mind you it is about the same as doing a 100mph in a 30mph zone.

[turbobloke]

Aye, 30 mph limit - it's clearly a built-up area with schools and kids playing - good job Canada isn't keen on GATSOs

So, it's true what they say about Canadians.

[tonyhetherington]

why do you say canada?

that 50 sign is identical to the 50 signs they use in USA...where they use MILES per hour !?

[tonyhetherington]

[quote=EmmaPit's true what they say about Canadians[/quote]
They can't say 'about' ?

He! He! They are all a bit crazy! Or so the folks in the good ol' U.S. of A. would have us believe.

What's this all aboot, eh??

I demand to know what you're all on aboot!

You, sir, are a racist!


LOL, hopefully everyone has seen the Southpark movie!!

I've seen that pic on the net before, and I thought that it was photoshopped to add the leading one.

[tonyhetherington]

bravo, Gary

I see what you mean about the photoshopped '1'. Umming and urring on that!

[EmmaP]

Flippin' 'eck! Can't believed I missed that earlier! That is a very bad piece of Photoshopping. They just selected the leg of the '7'. Tut! Tut!

But the way readouts like that work is that the leg of the 7 could also be a 1 anyway!? i.e. there's only 7 different lines that they use to make numbers 0 - 9 !?

I think you may have missed some of the subtleties of EmmaP's post.

i is fick...just not getting Emma's message there at all. Still not!

Time for bed, me thinks....

I think she means that all they have done is use one of the automatic select-based-on-colour tools to select and copy the leg of the 7, without taking any further measures to make the result look pukka. It looks OK at first glance but you can see that the edges of the "1" have been left fuzzy as a result of the method used to copy it, whereas the edges of the other characters are sharp.
