If you do not like rules dont fly, aviation is a rule based discipline.
llanfairpg,

We all should stick to the rules in aviation, especially the one about maximum speed of 250 kts below FL100 in Class G. Note that one is mandatory, the one regarding hi-viz vests isn't.

You said this:
We manage 280 kts on a clear day no probs, mostly inside zones, bit occasionally outside around 3000ft. It dosnt seem that fast if you do it often enough but it seems alarmingly slow when you get back into a C152!
But the ANO says this:
Speed Limitation
23 (1) Subject to paragraph (3), an aircraft shall not fly below flight level 100 at a speed which
according to its air speed indicator is more than 250 knots unless it is flying in
accordance with the terms of a written permission of the Authority.
So you are saying that we can't pick and choose with regard to which rules to obey, but you can?

Either, you obviously inform the CAA on each occasion you fail to comply with the ANO or you have a written permission to do this....
