If you get stuck in a roundabout: "Looks kids, it's Big Ben!"

Yes, you realize how limited your vision is otherwise -- Happy Dog 01/19/2022 09:52AM

My only screw up in the UK was to circle the wrong way in a cul-de-sac -- `lag 01/19/2022 09:57AM

Better cul de sac than a roundabout onto the A1 -- Happy Dog 01/19/2022 10:08AM

That's how I feel switching from my truck to our van -- hoosnowahokie 01/19/2022 08:30AM
