In all modesty I consider myself somewhat of a roundabout connoisseur having endured one of the most diabolical roundabouts ever invented.
I posted this a year or two ago but it’s worth mentioning again. You see, back in the early 80’s I was assigned as project leader of a technology upgrade for a major UK retailer whose headquarters were based in Swindon UK. As such I spent a lot of time over there in the course of a year.
Swindon is most notable as the home of the infamous ‘Magic Roundabout’, a cluster of five roundabouts arranged around a contra-rotational hub which I had to traverse twice each day. Being a Yank, the whole ordeal was compounded by the Brits natty insistence on driving on the wrong side of the road.
This monster kept me up at night. Ladies and gentlemen, behold,
the mother of all roundabouts!
