We're looking at Wiltshire so I can always do a few circles around the magic roundabout in Swindon if I need a fix.

Hardly a hell hole though is it:)

It has 5 little ones that you drive around the wrong way to get onto the big 1 in the middle.

I didn`t think Brits were capable of planning something that bad. If I hadn`t seen it I wouldn`t have believed it.

The only thing I knew about Swindon before today was XTC, therefore it held no appeal for me. But now with the magic roundabout, it seems more interesting.

Isn`t it one of these places that gets flooded from time to time?

Hemel Hempstead has a similar one only with 6 little roundabouts plus the added bonus of being able to go either way round the big on in the middle :confused:

Oh my goodness I think I'd have a panic attack if I had to negotiate that.
Must strike MK and Swindon off my list of places to go, or rather add them to the "places to avoid list"
