Don't need to, a couple of mice got in from the field next door and took care of that for me [/QUOTE
Have finally caught up reading this thread - great galloping good luck on your interview, Sultan.......sorry, I haven't heard from my cousin yet. Hope it's 'cause he's really busy and not 'cause he's ignoring me.

I've only heard it as "kiddiewinkLes! Maybe his term was really a Freudian slip and he was thinking of them all as "little pricks"?

I think roundabouts are a great idea. They never bothered me in the UK and I think they should use them more here.

It's nothing to do with superiority. We have 2 roundabouts in our area that have been there as long as I've been here, and they still can't work out how to use them. Using them is like playing a game of russian roulette with just 1 shell removed.
Why don't you bring your Harley over and try riding them for a laugh?

I have to agree with you there, Sally. Its almost hilarious when you come up to one and watch the other drivers (because you are definitely watching the other drivers to see what they are going to do!)

If anyone can demonstrate to me the purpose of those godawful mini-roundabouts that amount to nothing more than a T-junction with a big mound of white paint in the middle, that'd be nice ...

So you can get an unwanted car written off by the collection of idiots that use them? LOL

Back where I used to live they put them at the end of almost every bloody street. Streets that didn't even need traffic lights . How they thought that'd be better than a 'Give Way' sign I'll never know!
Now big roundabouts on main roads and motorway interchanges, those I understand.
