You can tell it's not a real roundabout in the middle by the fact that traffic moving around the centre island does not have the right of way. On a real roundabout, the traffic moving around the centre of the roundabout has right of way over other traffic.

Okay, so you have a minority third party, the Doffuses (doffi?) as well as the Idiots and Morons...

Hang on. You have another two parties, the Cretins and Dopes as well. Just how many political parties do you have over there. How do you every manage to achieve anything with so many differing viewpoints....?

Are they related to our DGma?

Wot? Not Zany Carters and doughnuts or bacon? Can we form a breakaway sect that does?
