Rorschach would have a field day with you.
Aren't those W blocks?
Only seen the Anti pedestrian tiles in a couple of places in Edinburgh.

Never heard of Rorscach so I took a test
http://theinkblot.com/
Here's the results
Test Results
Sickness Quotient: 90%
Your "Sickness Quotient" of 90% is definitely something to worry about.
Detailed Diagnosis
Interpersonal Insights
You never give up and refuse to settle for less than the best. In other words, you're impossible to please and you never shutup. Your sense of self-entitlement means you're probably the kind of person that pulled the wings off of butterflies when you were little.
Job Performance & Attitude
You have little empathy for anyone more successful at work than you, which is pretty much everyone. You frequently mention terms like "core competencies" and "paradigm shifts" while at work. Stop acting like such a tool.
Personality Insight
Your personal motto is "If you can’t make them think, make them wonder." Trust us- you've succeeded beyond your wildest dreams.
Wow that's uncanny
:p

Sickness Quotient: 54%
Your "Sickness Quotient" of 54% is hardly cause for concern.
Detailed Diagnosis
Interpersonal Insights
Your sense of self-entitlement means you're probably the kind of person that pulled the wings off of butterflies when you were little. You have a positive attitude towards nearly everything, which is incredibly stupid and very annoying to those around you.
Job Performance & Attitude
Your work is of so little value they should just put a shredder in place of your Out basket Your work is of such poor quality that your manager is considering replacing you with a machine that flushes.
Personality Insight
Your personal motto is "Hope for the best; prepare for the worst." Based on what we know about you, you're going to need a lot of preparation.
a shredder would be handy

My test results were exactly the same as yours LLL.

The first pic is a 'Deterrent Paving' manufactured by our chums at Marshalls and sold under the name of Chiswick.
The second is a "W" block paver which are made by various manufacturers but I think the biggest UK supplier is Cemex (Shhhh! they don't like anyone to know they make paving) who sell it as "Ready-Loc" but only in HUGE quantities.
I keep getting asked to source small quantities (100m² or less) of W-blocks and Cemex are simply not interested. They are not even interested in suggesting stockists who might have some odds and sods lying around in their yards.
I'm fairly certain there is a sort-of W-block which has a flat base to enable it to be laid 'on edge' as a deterrent paver. I know a site in Docklands where it was used but for some reason, I just can't think of the product name or that of the manufacturer. That'll bug me for the rest of the day, now!

Test Results
Sickness Quotient: 42%
Congratulations! At a 42% "Sickness Quotient", you're almost well-adjusted.
Detailed Diagnosis
Interpersonal Insights
You have delusions of adequacy which are completely unfounded. You couldn't pour tea out of a boot with the instuctions written on the heel. You hate your mother and father, your neighbors, co-workers, friends, and just about everyone else who happens to think you're a worthless boob.
Job Performance & Attitude
You frequently mention terms like "core competencies" and "paradigm shifts" while at work. Stop acting like such a tool. You hate your job but will never leave it. That's because no one else will hire people whose job skills consist of sleeping and surfing the web.
Personality Insight
Your personal motto is "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Wrong. What doesn't kill you usually makes you hurt all over and go "Owie!"

It came to me in the middle of the night - it's called Elite and it's made by Charcon....
....and I'm not doing any bloody psych tests. My ex will only use it against me in court!
