Swindon Magic Roundabout

My old school was just a hundred yards up the road from the magic roundabout, in those days it was just one huge roundabout, do you remember that gaz? PS school was St Josephs

I know St Jo's Laz but I am waaaay tooo youn to remember that lol

My earliest memory of that roundabout is seeing an Pox fan trying to escape Swindon by climbing the massive street lamp in the centre. Luckily for him the police turned up as he was sliding down :-)

Lawrie took me through the Magic Roundabout when we visited last month (its a doddle), I was surprised it was so close to the Football Ground
