This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

A guy I went to college with
was on a bench outside in June and I pointed out how hot it was that day, and that it was the hottest part of the day.

He was adamant that the temperature of the day is always highest at noon, after which the day cools down again. He wouldn't listen to reason that just because the sun's energy is greatest at noon, doesn't mean the ambient temperature is.

He also thought that the British motorway system was built in the order it's numbered.

... have to admit until I read your post, I would agree with the motorway system one. hhmmm. Google search time for me.

Nope
The motorway numbers generally follow the A roads they replace or relieve. Hence the M1 generally weaves around the A1, M6 A6... I could go on but you get the picture.

So what system was used to number the A roads?

The roads are numbered
in accordance to sectors in the UK fanning out from London.
