Broken glass is sometimes incorporated into concrete to make it ratproof - rats can gradually eat through concrete otherwise. This is primarily used for animal housing, where rats try to get to the food. It was also used for the hard bases of earth walls where rodents can otherwise do considerable damage to the earth walls above.

Angela Lansbury's (Jessica Fletcher et al) grandfather, George Lansbury, was a leader of the Labour Party.
(Historian A.J.P. Taylor labeled Lansbury as "the most lovable figure in modern politics" and the outstanding figure of the English revolutionary left in the 20th century.)
