    Swindon

    Anyone from Swindon? What do you think of your roads?

    I drove there last Saturday for the football. The traffic down the A420 went from free-flowing to cr@p as soon as I entered the town. I parked up in one of the rabbit-warren chav estates, then spent 20 minutes trying to find my way out again afterwards because of the estate's one-way system. I now hear from my fellow fans their tales of a Magic Roundabout that makes the Hemel one seem like just a slight bend in the road in comparison.

      DP has his "mansion" there, but I hear he's upgrading to a 3-bed semi on some chav estate in West Sussex or somesuch.
      Hard Brexit now!

            my first contract had me visiting Swindon, to see the Royal Mail Large Sorting Machines.

            what a poo hole.

              The road leading to the big car plant just off the M4 junction used to get quite busy, but I gather it's got a lot better recently.

                The magic roundabout is a work of genius.

                  10 years ago, if you weren't at your desk by 8am, you may as well not bother, the place was gridlocked....

                  As for the magic roundabout.... the first time you see the sign, you think they're taking the p1ss!

                    There's one a bit similar to that in High Wycombe.

                    My favourite road sign is on the M40, wonder how many people have crashed looking at it?
