Not actually a comment as such, but... a minor fault with the Blog. The donate button does not show in Opera on:
FreeDSD (Opera 9.63) Vector Linux (Opera 9.64) Ubuntu Linux (Opera 9.52) Wii (Opera 9.30) Mac OSX (Opera (9.64)
On Unix it does work with Konqueror (on FreeBSD), Epithany (Ubuntu), and Dillo on Ubuntu (but paypal does not work with Dillo). On OSX it works with iCab, and Camino. I have not been able to try with Firefox because I do not have it installed; neither have I been able to try with Opera in Windows, because I have no Microsoft stuff, although I suspect it might not have a button too.
One solution would be to make the text linked to PayPal too (so that the absence of the button is irrelevant), or the button could be presented in a different format.

There are a number of reasons for setting a default speed of 20mph throughout the 'unclassified' road network in residential parts of a city such as Norwich. Most important perhaps is that of driver recognition as to what the speed limit is. If you have 20 mph as the default then you not only establish this limit clearly, but you also adjust the driver's recognition as to what is the "normal" speed in such residential areas. The most important aspect is that drivers set 20 mph as the norm with those 30 mph areas or roads being seen as 50% faster, rather than seeing 30 mph as the norm with 20 mph as 33% slower. The psychological adjustment of normal speeds in residential areas is key to the success of reducing speeds and therefore danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore any trial, pilot or whatever, that only implements 20 mph in a tiny proportion of the city is not modelling 20's Plenty in any realistic manner. When considering the val...
