    Default Cat's Eyes

    Did you know that the cat's eyes reflectors marking road centre lines were invented by Percy Shaw of Halifax in Yorkshire when he noticed how a cat's eyes shone in the dark when reflecting headlights.

    Just think. If the cat had been walking away from him. he might have invented the pencil sharpener...

    As well as not working it would have put more a***holes on the road.
