That wasn't true for the rest of the UK, it may just have been an 
experiment in Abingdon (a less successful one than Radiohead). Speed 
signs in the UK were, and are, done in miles per hour: 
<http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/signs04.shtml>. Speedometers are in 
miles per hour too, though they also show kilometers.

Cheers,
