Why would you be asking about a castrated lamb?

I doubt that, but i would agree the layout is among the worst, along with lighting. Some of the A road layouts are just ridiculous, craziest junctions and splits i've come across.

It's a lot faster to get on the m5 north, than it is going on the a roads down to the south m5 junctions. Sat navs where probably set to fastest time.

ANd the road system in Bristol sucks.

Well, when I lived there people were very concerned about their testicularly challenged livestock

I find the Brizzol ladies have a mighty fine accent.

It certainly does something for me (yung 'un!)

Yarp I likes it to me luvver, I swears it on my babbies eyes.

My sat nav only has a headfit in town when im going round the bit they are redeveloping and it keeps telling me to turn round.

I have a head fit around that bit at night. It's like a Christmas tree with far far too many lights on it. Far to many lights and they're really bright. It's horrible for driving and trying to concentrate.

On an even less serious note, has anyone seen the bumper stickers that say "I'm only here because my Sat Nav lied!"

We were visiting a friend today, sat nav took us to the door. Number 37. Wrong street though

Nope it's not just you, I've had 2 tyres and an alloy written off due to potholes.

Anyone know barrow gurney?

Some person stuck a sign up beneath the road sign saying "Twinned with the moon"... it was there for ages.

I swear they dont fix that road on purpose because theyre trying to discourage people from using it to get to the airport. If it was lovely and smooth more cars would fly through there.
Portbury lane is another one that constantly has holes all over it.
