My old mum when she was alive has actually done the 'Go straight over the roundabout' thing Dave mentions at 52:00 I was banned from driving for a year in '95 and mum used to drive me to the pub and back for that year. But I'm a thoughtful soul, so I would think of a nice country pub and we would go there so I could have a few pints, and mum could have a coffee and a sandwich. Well on the way one day, we drove through a place in Rotherham called Greasbrough heading for Wentworth. The council had recently modified a cross junction by sticking the big white painted raised circle thing in the middle to turn it into a mini-roundabout. (so it speeds up through traffic whilst still allowing the occasional HGV to just go straight over it.) She's a bit peed off that day about our pub run, and as we approach the junction she asks "which way ahead?" And I foolishly it turns out, say to her "straight over the roundabout" I mean it was only about 12 inches in height.. AND she was an ex taxi driver for most of the 80's, but I still remember that to this day. "WEEEEE!" To be fair to her, she did say afterwards, "AH! you meant go straight on at the roundabout right?" And we did have a good laugh about it. No damage done thankfully.
"That's below prunes, that". LOVE this! My DVD player isn't working, does anyone know if I can download Spikey's stand-ups? I've had a look but no joy :(
