What's magic about this roundabout? Do they grow mushrooms on it?

Did you read this bit? http://www.swindonweb.com/life/roundabouts05.htmApparently they produce a calendar of the roundabouts of Swindon, but the Basingstoke roundabout calendar's fast overtaking it as the nation's favourite circular traffic control pin up!

You've not seen it before? It's legendary. I've only circumnavigated it once, but never forgotten!

I've done it 3 or 4 times, but always in the car with passengers to help out! Guess it's prolly easier on bike/trike cos visibility is so much better.
Weird junctions are never as bad when actually negotiating them - I was terrified of Spaghetti junction, but it really wasn't a problem cos you only do one bit at a time - with the magic rab the next bit comes up before you get time to catch your breath!
I really am amazed that there's still anyone who didn't know about it tho!
