Funnily enough, the concept of a circular traffic junction - in a form similar to a roundabout today - was first introduced in Washington DC in the 1790s, including the Dupont Circle.

So literally speaking, you septics invented the ~~roundabout~~ traffic circle.

In about 1968, my dad drove round the roundabout in front of Buckingham Palace so us kids could get a better gander at the palace.

We got pulled over by a Bobby on the third circuit, and I kid you not, his first question was 'What's going on here, then?' We were told if we wanted a better look, we would have to park the car and walk - like everyone else. The answer to the question is 3.

Was a time when these lyrics would have been the top comment to this question. Now they linger at the bottom.

We who know must be getting fewer.

I'll certainly keep an eye out for them. Thanks.

Golden delicious apples. I don't even consider others, although tbf, their taste does vary a little, depending on where I bought them.

In Cockney rhyming slang, the second half of the rhyme is mostly left off. In this case, the second half is left off and the first half is shortened.

Berkley Hunt = Cunt

If their arms are so weak as to be unable to overpower the lane-assist nudge, I really hope for everyone's sake, that they are not behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. The 'nudge' isn't strong in any sense of the word. You can overpower it with two fingers if squeezed tight. My semi truck had lane and steer assist, which nudged a little harder to steer the truck back into the lane, but that, too, could be overcome with a tight two-fingers grip.

If I understand the article correctly, this is about plants extinct in the area of Vermont only.
