£48m rounds up nicely to £50m

It's a bit depressing.

It's funny but on my reading of the balance sheet a few months ago I got the figure closer to £60 million. Perhaps Tealeaf could have a look at the published accounts, he's better at this than I am. But for the time being I will defer to Graham's more informed opinion on the subject. Either way it is an obscene amount of money. I'm still waiting for more info about this wasted £35,000 scandal....Graham?

You need to go almost right round so you start by crossing over to the inner lane (easy so far) As you go round, the theory is that your lane gradually moves to the outside....WRONG! Another inner lane suddenly appears which you need to move into but if you remain in the same lane you are forced off onto the B567? unless you are brave enough to swing your vehicle suddenly over to the right with the danger of side swiping another vehicle! Hard to explain, but if you are local, give it a try

i know what you mean i am still trying to get used to that roundabout but in saying that j.10 m65 (the burnley turn off) that one has lanes to and i find it ok but i do not know about the accident rate there,but j10 seems busyer because its a lot smaller so i think j6 will work as long you drive like eveyone else on the roundabout and just go for it! thats what i have found

I experienced this roundabout yesterday (J.6) and it's crazy! If there are cars ahead of you it's impossible to see the road markings and one sneaks up on you round the bend.
