eastwestdivide Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 34 minutes ago, PaulRhB said: we’ve already got them mixed in with roundabouts. They installed one near Wimborne called a ‘hamburger’, you stay in the right lanes to go straight through the middle of the roundabout but need to be in the left lane to go left or right. It caused mayhem when first put it in and you still have to be wary of people suddenly diving left across three lanes! The middle lane is a no go to most locals to avoid the swerving cars Something similarly confusing on Pier Road Gillingham, google maps link here: https://goo.gl/maps/rx2wXqeyxi8zGPYA8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the standard incompetence of Spanish drivers and the inability of the traffic authorities to design a road junction in a sensible and satisfactory manner for the road situation, chaos generally ensues. Mike. Ah, I see the problem with that manoeuvre - they're starting it from the wrong side of the road. If they drove on the correct (left hand) side then turning left wouldn't be a problem. ;-) 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted March 4, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2020 Panic buying Australia style. I picked up a 6 pack of double length yesterday and tonight there wasn't a single sheet of paper available. The weird thing is that most of it is made in Australia and the factory is now working 24/7 to attempt to keep up with demand. The lady in front of me at the checkout started her own little speciality of panic buying. She had about 8 packets of cotton buds, each presumably containing 200! Anyone got any clues as to what anyone might want with 1600 cotton buds? 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think of that. It's still unusual for subcontinental women to be weathering model railways.
