Update the morning after:

It was the Tesco roundabout on the A127 in southend, next to the big RBS.
There was a line of diesel looking more like something had ****ed it out rather than dropped it from a smash.

It was rush hour so I didn't get a chance to take any pictures of it, despite trying. I went back at about 11am and couldn't really see much, I assume the amount of traffic going threw had spread it around much more.

I know that there are lorries coming down the A127 for southend/shoebury and obviously the tankers for the fuelling station in tesco + their stock. Plus, as you probably know John, is a notorious roundabout for being a bit greasy anyway.

On a happier note, I wont £100 playing poker last night and I'm going to see top gear live today.

"I'm glad I don't drive around in one of those dangerous car things very much,there just so vulnerable,they should be banned."

Do I detect a change of attitude regarding the four wheel mode of transport?
Vulnerable they may be but even with there vunerability they tend to stay upright more than a motorbike.

Above is a urine extraction,glad to hear your OK and I will speak later regarding details of your PM.

It's not just the accident. A few things over the past month or so have bothered me about biking. It's also a cost.

I'm likely to take a year off, and then start doing some track days only.
This is all assuming I can liv without being on the road.

You'll still be expected to attend my BBQ next year, even if it means you arrive in the car. You can't get out of stuffing your face with blue cheese burgers that easily.
