Driving at 90

A lyric from Ed Sheeran’s song, “Castle on the Hill.” Many people believe he is driving at 90 km/h as opposed to 90 MPH because he wrote this song in England, but these people don’t realize that England is one of the few countries in the world that still measures distance in miles.

I’m on my way / driving at 90 (MPH) down those country lanes / singing to Tiny Dancer
