Roundabouts

Last week a friend from Denver came down here on business. She and I 
went out for lunch and then out to the mesa to buy some produce from 
one of the farmers there. On the drive she told me about her most 
recent visit to the UK. She was complaining about the roundabouts. I 
have never been in the UK and my experience of roundabouts is limited 
to Aspen and Vail which have small, four road roundabouts and I hate 
them. 

Anyway, she said that her experience was that the roundabouts in 
Scotland were the most difficult because they are so poorly marked. 
She also said that everyone who lived there that she talked to hated 
them. While she was talking about this, it occured to me that what 
she was describing was very similar to the function of the round room 
in the Department of Mysteries. Does anyone with direct experience of 
Scottish driving have any ideas about this? JKR comments on 
schooling, government and personal relationships. Why not a lampoon 
of driving and roadways? Or maybe not.
