Do you do this at round about ????

So there is a massive queue to go left at the round about.

And you go on the right hand land, do a 360 degree, then turn left where you meant to go

Save so much time. All legal too

I thought about it a few times but never have.

Sometime I feel people are slow to move off as their view are blocked by the car on the right hand lane. 

As it is a round about, your option to do 360 degree are always available.

I don't even care if the left hand lane are slow and I can cut back to the left (not legal then haha)

Does not always work out if there is some sort of obstruction to the left.

If you are going left don't you need to do (about) 270 degrees?  If you do 360 you'd be going straight on... 

I've done both 270 and 360. (360 when you can only go straight on in the left-hand lane and it's blocked).

Is it not allowed?

I'd say you are doing more than 360 degrees

if you do 270  you would be turning right, to do what the Op suggests it would be more like 450

In answer to the OP, yes I would do it and have done it

Nope. Depending on the size of the roundabout, but for a normal road roundabout, turning right is 90 degrees, coming back on yourself is 180, turning left by going right round is 270, and going back to where you were facing in the first place is 360 degrees.
I've never done the go round the roundabout trick, i think it's rude, lazy and selfish, but each to their own.

Your driving may be good, but your maths is very dodgy.

Left is 90 degrees, ahead is 180, right is 270. Doing what the OP suggests is 450.

It's perfectly legal and I've done it.

Often do this at the end of the M67, works a treat every time.

Of course, the British concept of queuing has no place on the road system. People who think it's rude or "pushing in" aren't driving in accordance with the road design, same with those that think it's wrong to use all of the lanes before a lane closure amongst others.
