Haha, same here. (edit: not planning on visiting Swindon again after the first visit which involved some trouble with the 'magic' roundabout)

I was in turn: confused (as I wasn't expecting it), amused (as I had recently read a Wikipedia article about it), distracted (as I tried to explain it to my partner), shocked (when I got stopped by a policeman having inadvertently driven through a pedestrian traffic light), and angry (when I got 3 points on my license). I tried to explain that I had been distracted by the roundabout but to no avail.

You missed out "lucky (when despite driving through a pedestrian traffic light I didn't actually kill or maim any pedestrians)".

Not really, there were no people crossing or waiting to cross... I went back to check and I missed it because it was a very wide road, there was a middle traffic light 'abovehead' which is how I missed it. I do actually agonise over these types of issues, and genuinely believe that at that moment I was not a danger to the public! Had it been a light at a junction it would have been much more dangerous, and also very difficult to miss. Also, having done some research afterwards, it appears that the Swindon police force were under a quota system so were actually targeting motorists, and therefore would exercise no discretion at all after seeing this occur.
