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... -- A host is a host from coast to coast .....................
