21st century magic for Swindon

“In 1972 it made a lot of sense”, explained a spokesman, “but just like the younger generation of magicians stole Paul Daniels’ and Ali Bongo’s lunch, the public, almost 40 years later, simply demand more magic”.  He explained how what was once a ‘magic’ roundabout simply doesn’t cut the mustard in modern society. “If you don’t like it, I suggest you go knocking on J.K.Rowling’s door.  Since she put Potter on the table, the kids are growing up with higher expectations for road features; they demand more magic.  And that’s before you consider the pressure we’re getting from Disney World, since the twinning”.

After showing a letter from Florida, telling Swindon to “magic up”, he went on to present a new design for Bruce Street Bridges that claims to be the most magical roundabout, not only in Swindon, but in the world. “1972 was the olden days. Get back in your kennel, Dougal. Frankly, our design makes the so-called ‘Magic Roundabout’ look like something an entertainer at a toddler’s birthday party would knock out.”, he said.
