There’s a question that’s been asked by many and I myself still think it funny that although of me it’s often said I haven’t a sensible thought in my head I often find myself nonplussed when people ask what the Romans did for us, and the answer obviously is there for all to plainly see, before they decided to invade us our roads were just anfractuous so used were we to walking where only sheep had gone before and so we just decided to follow, the sheep’s tracks up and down each hill and hollow.

When the pen takes control. 
I like your take on this but, Bobby, I have to disagree. The Romans merely applied better surfaces to the surfaces of the pre-existing Celtic roads. For the Celts had chariots, best driven in straight lines!

I’m afraid I have to tell you that the Celts probably did not use chariots except in warfare, they did not transport people or goods from place to place only to deliver warriors to battle, occasionally to act as a fighting platform but more often the warriors dismounted and fought on foot so they did not need roads in the now accepted sense

Agreed. But Celts did have stretches of straight roads as archaeologists have discovered underlying several of the later Roman roads. However, Roman did build loads more. After all, they had to move troops double-quick time to rapidly put down the rebellious natives. Yay to the Celts is what I say! 🙂
