That first one isn't Swindons magic roundabout, this is: Link.

The Swindon one is more daunting.

And here's how to get there.

The Magic Roundabout is amazing and there seriously should be more of them around the country - it really does keep the traffic flowing (and if there is a queue in the direction you want to go you can simply go the 'other way around'..... pure genius!!

Agree with bogeyman though, Swindon town centre is shocking and suffers from underinvestment (in the shadow of Reading, Bath and Bristol). From the people I still know living there they keep going on about ripping up a load of roads and installing a canal instead

I did a stint in Swindon many moons ago. The only thing that saved the day was having bags of overtime, but that was a problem in its own right, since there weren't any decent fish and chip shops or cheap curry houses to grab a snack if you were working late.

I'd never come across a place before where off-licences didn't even sell canned food.

Best Curry House required a trip out to Purton.

Couldn't find a decent Chinese at all

Local ale was tulipe...

Imported ale wasn't much better

To be fair, at interview they said that I should live outside Swindon if I wanted a decent life. Unfortunately, they wouldn't give me the wages
