[Talk-GB] the steepest residential street in England

[Jez Nicholson]

Google is telling me Hardknott Pass and Rosedale Chimney Bank at 33% for
England.

They used to do hill-climb car racing up Porlock Hill in Exmoor but that is
reported as a mere 25%

I can't help but think that there are some short side-roads that are
steeper. They may also have further criteria for the 'World Record'.
