It might have seemed cruel at the time, however for veteran road engineer Finbar McShelley, it was the making of his career. His daily early morning commute on the A1 took him past a row gardens. Almost twice annually he ran over a cat. On the 26th occasion, he noticed a flailing feline eyeball glimmer as it flew past his headlights and embedded itself in his windscreen wipers. An idea was born.
Less than a year later Finbar's 'lightbulb' moment was saving lives, though not cats lives, as the 'cats eye' became standard fitment on Britain's A road network. Finbar retired to a small island just off Grand Cayman, where he now runs the Carribean's largest cat sanctuary.

He did become very wealthy. He didn't retire to the Caymans but was an eccentric with four tellys running 24/4, sitting on packing crates and a Roller in the garage.

On my way into the office this morning -
1) The boy racer in the Corsa VXR who went the length of a bus lane at 60mph+ past a queue of stationary cars. Shame there were no cameras.
2) The fool who then let Mr VXR back into the queue.
3) The bus driver who swerved at me for not letting him pull into my lane. If he would have looked, he would have seen the lane was empty behind me.
4) The jogger who ran straight out in front of me, headphones on, completely oblivious to his surroundings.
5) The 2 cyclists who tried overtaking me in slow moving traffic, one either side, as I was turning right and then went the wrong way down a one way street.
6) The Range Rover driver in the NCP going for a personal best from floor 3.
7) NCP, for thinking it is acceptable to have a gang of homeless, drunk people wandering round their car park at 8am, when they are charging £25 a day for the priviledge of parking there.
I was almost glad to get into work

Some Korean looking small SUV thing with BMW badges, which pulled out on me out of a side street. Even though I had to brake pretty heavily to avoid hitting him, I just let it go and carried on.
When we entered a more built up area I was still behind him, but noticed a lot of arm waving from the driver as he deliberately sped up and drove towards pretty much every hazard that presented itself which wouldn't have been an issue. Then leaning on the horn, arm waving and fumbling around his rear view mirror for his dash cam.
He didn't do it a couple of times, but pretty much every car that was inching out of a side street, every oncoming car that was slightly crossing the white line to pass parked cars, etc, he'd accelerate towards it, hand on the horn, then fumble for his dash cam.
At a pelican crossing the lights were on red, but just as the lights started to flash amber a young woman started to run across. BMW deliberately set off towards her and slammed on right away, again, hand on the horn, arms waving, shouting out of the window, dash cam fumble.
Every single one of the issues he created could wouldn't have been an issue at all if he didn't create them himself.
YouTube has a UK Dashcam channel(s) and it is astonishing how many of the clips are situations that could have been easily avoided and yet are held up as examples of someone else's bad driving. Half of them were made worse by the dashcamee having some weird sense of heightened entitlement and making the problem worse rather than being a bit more bloody forward thinking and tolerant.When we entered a more built up area I was still behind him, but noticed a lot of arm waving from the driver as he deliberately sped up and drove towards pretty much every hazard that presented itself which wouldn't have been an issue.

Parked up in a McDonalds on the A1. As we returned to the car, there was a Macperson sweeping the car park. I asked him if a bin had blown over. No was the reply and that it was virtually a full time job clearing the car park of detritus that customers had thrown out of car windows after finishing their food. He pointed out that there were six bins around the area.
A contender for Knob Central I think.

I assume you mean the litterbugs too fat or stupid to reach the bins, rather than trigger and his broom?A contender for Knob Central I think.

I took my Golden Retriever into town once. Parked in the underground car park under the main mall. Popped up in the lift, into the middle of the mall and strode forward. A pair of security guards approached me after a couple of minutes. Since when does a jobsworth security t

"Dogs aren't allowed"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see any signs in the lift. I'll leave." I start toward the entrance which is a 100m away.
They stop me.
"You'll have to carry the dog."
"I'm sorry?"
"The dog. You'll have to carry it"
"It's a Golden Retriever not a chihuahua."
"You still have to carry it. Them's the rules"
"Tell you what, I'm not going to carry him but if those are the rules, I'm sure the dog would be delighted if you wanted to carry him. He's super friendly."
They looked at the dog and at each other uncertainly.
"On your way then." They then slunk away, deciding to investigate a "code turquoise" somewhere else and doing "whiskey tango foxtrot" comms checks on their Fisher Price walkie talkies.
