I sometimes call them roundabouts -- but they are chidish kiddy park rides that make you sick when the 'big kids' push you...

Sometimes i call them islands, which can sometimes get confusing....

I'm from the midlands and we call them roundabouts here. Must be a brummie thing.

[Gifted]

actually come to think of it..... my sisters husband to be from brummie and he calls em islands!!

[Dwarf_Pr0n]

I'm from the North (Yorkshire).

They are roudabouts.
About the only thing we would call an island is the ones in the middle of the road with the bollards on them.

[m00]

Whoever said he drove into a roundabout?

[Gifted]

yea def a BIRMINGHAM THING.....


went up there last weekend and all the signs call them ISLANDS..



e.g 'Swan Island' (J6 of the M42 i think! :confused: )

Agreed.

Islands are the little things in the middle of the road where pedestrians run to, to avoid being killed.

Roundabouts are...well, i wont explain for you.

Bloody southeners. :rolleyes:

[KBB]

fs northern scum (only applying to rooth clearly :p) tbh, i didnt know what u were on about with "islands" till some1 said they were roundabouts. clearly we are right :D

[Mingtea]

Birmingham is in the South! I feel so strongly on this point, tat if i didnt think it immature, i'd type this in capitals: Birmingham is in the South! And i'd also possibly add about 5 exclamation marks, just to make my point.

That is how right i feel i am about Birmingham being in the South. And dont you dare call me a big black vagina, you big black southern vagina!

And KBB, sweedy, darling, petal, lamb, die, thnx. :) xx

[Dwarf_Pr0n]

So kind :)

[Ruth]

Thats me.

Rooth, known for her kindness and bunny ears...






...is not how anyone knows me.
Being a slut and wearing bunny ears would probably be closer to a general description.

And in Newcastle, we dont use the word "kind". We say "canny".

Get it right, Yorkshireman.
