Thank you google maps . I used to drive around this monstrosity regularly.

It's a shame html is disabled in this forum, no way to embed the map from BBCode.

Martin.
The designer of this monster is the only person for whom I wouldn't protest if he was detained at Guantanamo for life without trial.

Anyway I was horrified to see that during my absence here they built a new roundabout at the end of my road. It's an epidemic!!! We must stop them before they take over the world.

I like this picture, with the trolley out the front. It really says something about the store! "So compelling you will need a trolley!"

Another crazy roundabout around the Arc De Triomphe in Paris, I remember my dad taking 2 hours to get around it when I was a kid, I think there are 12 roads leading onto/from it :lol:

Apparently traffic on this roundabout is so chaotic that French insurance companies deem any accident on the roundabout to be equal liability.
