Passed quite a few of them last few weeks on the way to work but seldom on the way home from work.
Random places - but usually on rural roads where it is not safe to stop and inspect.
And never in the same place twice.
I am guessing something thrown from a car window but what is it?
Perhaps an 'LED throwie': LED + coin cell + magnet, taped together? Throw it at any steel surface and it sticks. It then stays lit until the battery runs down, which can take a few days.
They were fashionable about 10 years ago, maybe the fashion came back again?

A [remote, quantum unknown] possibility: e-cigs.
That's on assumption that:
a. they still sell the ones with LEDs, and
b. they're more likely to be thrown from cars during/after a night out so still flashing come morning than during day for you to see come evening.
This first started in the summer school holidays when I left early in the morning but came home when it was still daylight.
On the route between Royston (Barnsley) to Purston Jaglin
But as the days have got shorter I now get the same thing on the on the usual route to and back from work between Brierly and Notton Fatal Crossroads.
It just never seems safe to stop when I see one
Discarded NTSC TV's :-) ?
I get this sometimes while on my walk around the village but I know what the cause might be. When did you last have a proper eye test ?.
My guess would be e-cig stubs - we see a lot of them when litter picking. They stop glowing after they have been run over a few times.
(some never glowed in the first place)
Just before Covid at
I'd go again, and mention the flashes.
You can also offer to give their CU its 2 year service. ;)
Especially if she's fit.
Good point. A useful source of lithium cells for portable projects, if you pick them up. Obligatory Big Clive video:
So you have met RDS's other half?
RDS must have a massive knob and knows how to use it because she always smiles.
Unusual place name. Bill
They are lamppost EV charging points that are broken, and disgruntled drivers have broken them off and thrown them away. Out of a petrol vehicle, obviously.
3,500 puffs? That's some nightclub. Bill
Thanks for that. Confirms litter louts are found North and South, Town and Country. But IMHO it's evidence of a more serious decline in values. "Gummy Bear flavour" forsooth!
The tobacco companies have to find new markets. Clearly it’s now children. Same as alcohol and alcopops.

At a glance, and before googling it, I though that is surprisingly large for 3.5nF capacitor :-)
