A post about, ahem, cats eyes - those reflective studs in the road!

A very happy 2013 to you all!

Phnark! I can't tell you why cat's eyes are of such interest to your readers but I can tell you that the old style ones used to wear out and eventually, the glass bit inside them would fly out, at speed, when a car drove over them. Apparently at one time there were 3 or 4 road deaths every year in Britain caused by cat's eyes.
ReplyDeleteNow I'll look this up and discover it's an urban myth!

Oh my, that is interesting, MTM.
ReplyDeleteDo let us know one way or the other if you find it is/ isnt an urban myth.
Personal observation would suggest they get gummed up by road dirt - the sheer volume of modern traffic seems to overwhelm the pop-up-and-down mechanism - either that or the roads aren't maintained like they used to be (Ho hum, I'm sounding like a grumpy old woman now.)
Thank you so much for visiting,
much appreciated,
