You make it sound as though I am writing to a 70 year old and you're younger than I am anyway so don't go falling in love with me or I'll be ejected from the board for cradle snatching !
Not sure of the last time you came to Brentwood but Coopers - the big furniture shop - has gone from Wilson's Corner and it's now a "high-end" retail outlet for about six shops selling stuff that I would collectively describe as "twee".
Alongside the retail outlet is a traffic Gyratory system comprising two mini-roundabouts. At least that's what Brentwood Borough Council says. The truth is it's a secret government initiative and it works like this :
UFOs that enter our air-space are sucked into a 5th dimension that was cleverly created by Stephen Hawking, Patrick Moore and the Blue Peter presnteres using sticky back plastic and coat-hangers. Once they're in they are transformed into car shapes and then beamed down to Wilson's Corner. Once there they either sit waiting for a gap for so long that they just rust into dust or - due to the specially staggered roundabouts - they randomly smash into each other and are converted to dust.
To outsiders it's just an incredibly badly designed traffic flow system but they're not fooling me. Please don't ask me how I know about all this, if I tell you I'll have to kill you.
