It's not because I can't figure it out, I have actually gone on it a bunch of times, it's because I'm usually jet lagged and now I'm on the opposite side of the road. I can just go the opposite way and not have to deal with trying to re-wire my brain to go the other way. It really messes up your instincts and takes a day or two and a good night sleep to get it sorted.

Actually the Highway dept. are putting traffic lights on many roundabouts these days.
Really frustrating to sit and wait for green when the old system worked perfectly well.
Still, some jobsworth has earned an 'innovation' bonus!
PS. Do you work for Mars? That's the only good thing to come out of Slough apart from the A4!
