OK. Stop now.... here is the definitive answer. As relayed by phone to me by my friend who is a DSA DRIVING EXAMINER.
The National Speed Limit, as denoted by a white circle with a diagonal black line is:
60mph
Other than on MOTORWAYS and DUAL CARRIAGEWAYS (upon which there is no other limit in force) where it is
70mph
I sincerely hope those of you who got it wrong are not drivers!!

It's both! It depends on the type of road - you'll see the sign for national speed limit on single lane carriageways and dual carriageways - on a single carriageway the limit is 60mph and on a dual carriageway it's 70mph. The limits may be different, but in those cases the limit will be clearly shown instead of the national limit sign.

70 on the motorways.
60 on general roads.
30 in built up areas.
There are also speed limits of 40 and 50 in certain areas. So you are both correct.

the sign with the white circle with the black line through it means national speed limit which is 60 mph except on dual carriageways (2 lanes each side) where it is 70 mph

60 mph., but 70 is allowed on motorways
(white circle with black diagonal stripe means 'National Speed limit of 60 mph applies)
