I ONCE bought a 2021 calendar featuring roundabouts, compiled by Kevin Beresford, who travelled around Britain snapping, you guessed it, roundabouts. He says they are more efficient and prettier than traffic lights. Who could argue with that? Well, possibly those of us who’ve failed to negotiate Swindon’s magic roundabout without causing chaos, that’s who.
Kevin, who self-styles himself the ‘UK’s dullest man’, lives in Redditch, Worcestershire, and he’s my sort of age. Our rehomed cat Frank came from Redditch, although we’ve rechristened him, Frank Homer, in honour of Carrie and Boris Johnson’s youngest child who’s saddled with Frank Alfred Odysseus. In the past, Kevin has produced some knock-out calendars, including Jack Grealish’s thighs. They’re probably prettier than traffic lights, too. I gave this to my son-in-law one Christmas, although I had a good look first. He would probably have preferred socks.
