Captivating…. however it looks like they have all since given up! http://www.toynbee.net is now a site for reviewing toys!?!? I looked it up and there seem to be a ton of people linking to it in the past so it must have at one point been about the tiles… hmmmm

How do the tiles get stuck in the road without breaking?
A sheet of tar is laid over the tile, when a car goes over it the sheet of tar sticks to the car tyre and the tile is pushed into the road???

  Something like that I imagine. According to Wikipedea the “tiles” are made from linoleum and pavement repair compound. They’re probably very thin – more like a giant asphalt sticker than a ceramic tile.

The story has the potential of making an interesting documentary but sadly this drags on far too long – worth watching but don’t attempt to watch if you’re feeling sleepy!
