When I first came to Accy and joined the Accyweb, I made a comment about building estates on virgin ground when there were run-down factories in the town centres that were left derelict...........

I got a lot of stick for that and it was probably deserved but I was used to the "southern" way of doing things....... I am going to put my head in a noose again by remarking on the inability of "some"...OK, MOST northerners that just cannot cope with mini roundabouts!!!

In an earlier thread, I mentioned a cop car that approached a mini r/bout at the same time as myself and although he was on my right and had the right of way, he waved me on to pass in front of him..............Almost every day, I am finding myself in a similar situation, drivers that SHOULD go, just stop and flash or wave me to say "go ahead mate" One woman even stopped while actually going round the roundabout to let me in!!!!

I have found out that mini roundabouts were introduced later up north than they were down south but that does not excuse ignorance!

In Hemel Hemstead there is a major roundabout..........and on this roundabout, there are 5 roads and 5 mini roundabouts!! By using the mini's correctly, it is possible to go anti-clockwise round the main roundabout to your selected exit, God 'elp us if Hyndburn ever build one of these...
