So *that's* what they're for

I'd seen the ventilation poles in the Jarman Park car park, and wondered exactly what they were ventilating. Landfill gas never occurred to me.
Your description of the Magic Roundabout (aka the Funny Roundabout) is not *entirely* correct. To describe it as one big roundabout with lots of mini roundabouts around it is exactly what gets people confused in the first place. The only way to approach it is to think of it as lots of mini roundabouts which just happen to be in a circle. Treating it as a single roundabout in any way leads to some scary lane choices - only last week I saw a driver travelling clockwise on the very inside of the road - where the traffic should be travelling anti-clockwise.

Apparently the whole complex is sinking (and a good thing too). If they could just lock all the doors on a Saturday night then hopefully all the Chavs and Chavettes could go down with the good ship Wally World.
The inside of Wally World on a Saturday night resembles the street scenes in Blade Runner with a cosmopolitan clientele dressed in a somewhat tribal fashion. Either Bovi-Burberry (i.e. Fake and bought at Bovingdon Market) a local site of "liberated goods" - we can't get any more love they've changed the locks. Or dirt cheap clothes from Primark.
