@whitequark Is this, like, something every Brit knows as a piece of useless trivia? Like how San Francisco is 49 square miles and they made that into the geo-cultural identity of the city?
@spacehobo@ryan@whitequark Most people born here probably know it's the longest distance on the mainland. I doubt many people know the numerical value, unless they've cycled/run/whatever it.
@cjwatson@ryan@whitequark Yes, and I'll admit I only know the distance in metric (from when I was obsessively plotting routes during lockdown) and had to convert to go "Oh it's at *least* that much..."
