breakdown bus

2 Apr 2007

Yesterday I was in the car with hubby in a queue waiting to get on a very busy roundabout in our town when I saw a breakdown lorry towing a bus. He disappeared and we never saw where he went.
Today we were at same roundabout when .. blow me a breakdown lorry towing a bus was just leaving the roundabout :shock:
Never realised it was that busy a roundabout :giggle:

God help me .. I already have trouble remembering which is left or right for a turn. At least the roundabouts all go round the same way so I can't get in a muddle. Now you tell me I can go both ways round your roundabout .. I'd get on and never get off :eeek:

Swindon has the other batty roundabout!

the roundabout in swindon looks a nightmare :shock: :shock: :shock:

if you think thats confusing look at hemel it shows 6 mini roundabouts but thats an old picture taken from the top of the kodac building, there a lot of building work done now and another one has been added so you have 7 minis around the big one which way you go is up to you.
clockwise on the outside, anti clockwise on the inside, normal rules apply for the minis

It looks like it would be fine to just igore the road markings and drive straight accross that swindown round about

That is exactly what you do at the roundabout pick your exit give way to the right and go like f***!!!
The Hemel Hempstead roundabout is far prettier than the Swindon one though and was coined as the magic roundabout many years before. To my knowledge it is the original.
