I think I confused it further by bringing round about into things...:o

I think it's all Victoria Wood's fault for being so good and making me hurry!;)

Or maybe the Beeb's fault for putting her on.:cool:

Well, whatever, on this forum you can usually blame someone else!:D

Victoria wood is ace.

What does she do now? I'd rather the BBC paid her a lot of money that Jonathon Ross.

Nope. A 180 degree turn would be continuing straight on. The only place I can think of a turn of > 360 degrees is in a multi storey car park exit.

I thought a 180 degree turn was the equivalent of a handbrake turn - straight line - but facing the opposite direction...

Isn't that the generally accepted definition when driving?

We have sorted the Christmas dinner, but the bird is being picked up at a market 15 miles away, so I'm hoping that there isn't too much white stuff.

As rookie country folk, we have a freezer big enough to store Bernard Manning in a cryogenic state, and there's a spare fowl in there if push comes to [STRIKE]shove[/STRIKE] abandon the car at the side of the road, but I'd rather have a fresh one.

That's about it. If you are heading south on tthe A377 and wish to turn into the B3042, I estimated there's roughly 60 degrees between the two, so very difficult, especially as the B road is on a steep slope.

Snooze is right; the max you could turn without a roundabout would be a handbrake turn, or 180 degrees, so I should have said 180 - 60 = 120 degrees. (obtuse angle = blimmin difficult)

However, I'm letting myself off. I was in a hurry because Victoria Wood was on the telly, so I'm sorry if I left confusion in my wake!:o

ETA: Have just looked at the map, and it is worse than I described, so no exaggeration. See for yourselves:

Hey, I'm grateful you did!

I have THE best neighbours. The farmer taking water to his cows just called and said he's filled my trough too! What a doll! And what a relief. The dear also said he'd thrown them some more hay, depsite them havin plenty, and not to bther going down till later today when the road has got some key in it....

...perhaps they've been reading here, and are worried about which way I'll try and turn on the roads???:rotfl:
