I'm currently listening to Canadian radio station CHQR 770 from Calgary, a city of about 1 million people in Alberta province.

They've just returned to local news programming after George Noory's Coast to Coast AM and guess what the lead story on the news bulletin was? The place is up in arms over the addition of a second set of traffic lights on Memorial Drive near the new Peace Bridge.

I kid you not. Even as i type (at 5:15 am Calgary time) the news anchor is telling us that the Mayor is going to hauled onto the programme to face an outraged public.

Back in uni days, I organised a trip out to Wales for a bit of hill walking and rock climbing. Being under the requisite age to hire / drive the uni minibuses, we found a few willing victims to do it for us (postgrads are useful for some things).

It would appear that canadians do not understand / have roundabouts. The time to learn this was before we drove straight over the middle of one at about midnight in front of a 'friendly' welsh policeman.
