Birmingham - Roundabouts

[zirk]

Having just spent another week up there, I know its a great place and they are lovely people (abeit they talk a bit funny  ), but my real beef is why do Brummies insist on calling Roundabouts, Islands?, and when I asked what they call there Islands (oylands) meaning kerbed bollards, I get a funny look. 

And what about SatNavs that must be confusing for them or is there a Special Midlands Speech pack you can download for it.

Anyone know, and what do you call Roundabouts in your area.

I grew up in a bit of the West Riding that's now known as S.Yorkshire,and I always called them roundabouts.Here in Lincolnshire[this bit at any rate]they call them circles.
