Title: Traffic roundabout conundrum
Post by: Nick on October 01, 2008, 08:29:23 AM
Returning from The School this morning I arrived at alocal traffic island.Three other cars arrived simultaneously at each of the other three exits. Then we all just sat there, as no one wanted to go first. Lots of flashing of headlights and helpful gesturing. Then we all got in a muddle. IN the end we got out of our cars and came to an agreement,

Who had right of way?  rubschin:

On reflection and to make it Nick Proof perhaps this one would be better. We could have a whip round.

Since you have to "cock" it using your thumb and given the sight it is obviously a mock up (Photoshop perhaps?)

Getting vaguely back on to the subject of roundabouts I was on my way back from work earlier this week when I saw a sign on a one saying it had been sponsored by a local company? Why on earth would someone want to sponsor a roundabout? Are you expecting it to bungee jump for cancer reseach or something?  noooo:

That's right ~ tell her she can't get on the bus before 09.30 and she must keep out of M&S at lunchtimes 'cos Wenchy wants a sandwich.

Common practice. Companies sponsor the roundabouts thus getting their names seen by everyone who passes and the local council have someone else paying for the upkeep, planting etc that makes the roundabout pleasanter than a concrete donut.

Given the mess that the contractors the water board hired made of the bleedin thing it needs all the help it could get.
