    Piece of cake once you get used to them. I hit that one at 11pm on the way back from a mate's place in West Sussex to our flat in Southampton. Yes I was lost.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    While touring in Brittany (France) last year my friend and I rounded a nice long right hand sweeperr when there, in the middle of the road, was an elephant. Not something you'd expect to see in northern France, on a road.

    The circus worker shat herself when she saw me coming, the elephant just stood there bemused, and thankfully refrained from shitting itself. Apparently they we're supposed to be with the main circus parade 100 yards further up the road, but the elephant decided to take an alternative route.

    Aaahhh, you see, so in France they have elephants just wondering on the roads. Apparently we have lions wandering the streets in Johannesburg too.

    That'd be a bit of a surprise alright...I once had a bit of a fright in Northern England coming south from Edinburger. I came over a blind crest at 80+mph to find an Army helicopter hovering about 4' over the road ...the thing went up like god had it on a string and my adrenaline levels went up at about the same rate...don't speed on roads through military ranges people...

    I think magic roundabouts are great, it's roundabouts with traffic lights on that do my head...Hangar Lane Gyratory anyone?

    Hangar Lane Gyratory is a piece of wees to negotiate.

    I loved the HLG. Get in the correct lane early and take that biatch like you own it. Driving an Italian car helped.
