    Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes with this. What are your nominations for favourite roundabout?

    I have several of these. Chiswick Roundabout, where the A4 meets the A406, was the scene of my first ever car accident, a week before I took my test. Good job the other **** wasn't insured either and we both agreed to just let it go. Knocked the drive shaft out of my girlfriend's Fiesta though, and I had to get a mate to give me a tow home, then spend two days with the thing on bricks trying to get the wheel nut off.

    However, upon consideration Chiswick is not my favourite roundabout. That honour goes to Shepherds Bush. Mayhem the moment the lights change, with every ****er trying to change lanes at once and no **** knowing how to get where they want to be. And people actually cycle it, the nutters.

    The Magic Roundabout, Swindon.

    You actually have to go anti-clockwise around the central roundabout...that would baffle me completely!

    Easily the Priestknowe Roundabout in East Kilbride. Got a family of grizzly bears living on it.

    These rather strange pagan like signs have appeared at the Marketway roundabout in Portsmouth. They go right around the whole thing.
