You couldn't make this up :-)
Cat's eyes extinct as council adopts 'road studs' because tourists read
its signs too literally: They're a great British invention that have guided countless travellers home late at night. But now it seems cat's eyes - or at least the name - will be scrapped. The move follows reports of concerned tourists fearing that animal cruelty had become a standard practice on our country roads. Signs saying "cat's eyes removed" were being read too literally so, after a string of mix-ups, Suffolk county council decided to replace them with signs warning of "road studs" ahead, and from now on the council will only refer to them that way. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/cat-apos-e...203000814.html |
