Everyone hates Broxden. I don’t. I love it. I’ve met my best friends there, going round. I once ate a whole Sunday lunch on it, lap by lap.

You want a junction you can understand? Move to Milton Keynes. Broxden is a journey. Broxden is a lesson. Broxden is the closest thing Perth has to a theme park, and it’s free.

Morven Tait is a columnist. She has been on Broxden since this morning.
