Where are the bloody cat's eyes??

Actually I do. And as you admit yourself it is well placed.

Geez, give up! You're wrong, move on! You generalized, claiming that all of the statements were "urban legend", yet they were provably correct except for one minor detail re. heating (which in fact exists on bridges).

Man walking on the moon, now there's an urban myth. Or the "single shooter" of JFK. But not mined bridges and emergency runways.

43
No, its not. An urban legend is something like "moth man", not actual facts that somebody gets slightly wrong as the mines in bridges or hidden military airports.

44
I never said any such thing.

And your posts demonstrate that you haven't actually got a clue what an urban myth/legend actually is.

That reminds me of one about belgian motorways.. and that they can be seen from Spaaace!

Got to love the belgian motorways (at 2 oclock in the morning..) no sodding cats eye to be seen

46
Mhh. Since you use plural, care to give examples for heated bridges besides the experimental one near Därligen?

47
They've been turning the street lighting off at night for a few years now as a money saving measure.

When we lived there they were on all night.

The Swiss are never wrong...

So? Evidence?

51
????????????

So... they only have the lights on during daytime?

52

But it's "warm glow", so that's alright...don't want to upset Belgian Mum!

53
Errm no, that would be stupid.

It depends on where in Belgium you are

Oh for Pete's sake, I thought having the last word was a female thing?!

Urban myth . And don't start an argument about how valuable wikipedia is now, please.

Back to the cat eyes: An ex (English) used to tell this story about the real inventor of cat eyes not having patented the invention and dying poor.

But that seems to be an urban myth ?

55
You were wrong, end of story......that horse is dead, it will not get up, no matter how much you beat it!

56
So generally speaking is it darker on the French side? No surprise there... (and all these street lights are powered by the worst nuclear power stations in Europe.)

57
Nope, generally speaking it is darker in Flanders.

Glad you said it...
