You'll have to tell Breamy off, breaking the forum like that (have you worked out who I am yet lol) Like Dave says, our fuel is about 3x more expensive than yours

howdy, yup i'm always slightly out of step. i work road construction and helped build and pave the first roundabout in our area and now there aremany including a large one that handles a major intersection under a freeway with off ramps and on ramps and signs that say not to try to pass a large juggernaut as you might say, while in the roundabout. i drive one of those that is seventy feet long and i just make sure no one can get alongside me from entry to exit. some hardheads become hotheads from my actions , but they are alive to complain. i like 'em
lotsa miles and smiles to ya

(have you worked out who I am yet lol) yes luke, it didnt take much working out lol i think using exactly the same user name, and putting a picture of your scoot in your avatar may have given me a clue ;D

and signs that say not to try to pass a large juggernaut as you might say, while in the roundabout. some people over here do use the term juggernaut...the most common terms though is lorry or truck or artic (slang for articulated truck) ;D and yes you still get the odd person getting too close to artics on roundabouts over here too
