The picture is upside down. That’s the ceiling, so the other side of the tiles are therefore the right way up on the next floor up.
What’s holding the middle tiles up then? Surely someone walking upstairs would end up downstairs with just grout stopping gravity?

Nonsense! If they hadn't nailed him there, how could he have held all those tiles up?

Floor laid. Well, most of it. I need to buy another 6 tiles to complete as I didn't quite account for all of the cut-offs.
Nice garage

Probably got a few practical reasons as well:

Stops / slows high speed drivers
Deters things like articulated lorries cutting through the estate
...and something to do with breaking up really long views down a road (can't think of a reason why though)
