Tootling around in Frogmella as is our want. What do we see but sheep spilling out into the road. Oh no! look out!No gentle reader do not panic these are not sheep but sleeping policemen of the French variety.
"Oh those heartless Frenchies" I hear you cry. But fear not for no sheep were harmed in the calming of this traffic. These are the concrete sheep of Mézières-sur-Issoire.
Convincing aren't they? Well they are when you are tootling along through the town. Close up they do look just a little naff. With strange pointy mousey faces.They are strategically placed on the major roads through the town to slow the traffic. At least we think that's what they are for. Maybe someone on the council just likes sheep

I know where these are! We stayed in this town when we were house hunting last July.
I like them - they're certainly better than the too-high speed bumps they love around here.....
SITH I had a feeling you'd know this area
TBNIL I liked them too. They didn't seem to slow the lorries much though
What a delightful idea! Being a sheep fan anyway it would make me slam on the brakes! And how neat that SITH was in this town as well!
Beats the sleeping police men we have here
