Right. But the post he was replying to made it clear that the
roundabout in question had stop signs posted at the entrances. While
that may be an exceptionally stupid way to deal with a roundabout, it
is the way Shiva saw them marked. Martin's response (essentially
saying that he's from the UK and therefore neither missed the mention
of a stop sign, nor was recommending breaking the law) was, at best,
nonsense. 

I was rather hoping that Martin would notice that and try for a witty
save, but that seems unlikely at this point...
