EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD

To have eyes in the back of your head is to know what is going on around you even when you cannot see it.

 Examples of use:

 “You have to have eyes in the back of your head, because people want to nick your possessions.”

 “It’s probably a good thing for the Chancellor that he isn’t blessed with having a pair of eyes in the back of his head.”

 “You have to have eyes in the back of your head as you need to make sure there’s no one hanging off the back of the helicopter!”
