Default Trivia: Hook Underpass (Ace of Spades)

the "Scilly Isles" roundabout -
I still can't quite see how that was once on the A3


No? Look at a map, and imagine a time when the Esher Bypass hadn't yet been
built. The Scilly Isles was then on the A3.

Then imagine that it is even earlier, and the Kingston Bypass hasn't been
built either. The Scilly Isles was on the A3 then as well.
