When I was a little girl (a fair while ago  ) and we still had cows, I remember frequently going to the market with a calf in the back of the car !
Thanks goodness things have moved on since then - well in some places, at least !

Imagine the smell!! My father in law used to take sheep in his Morris Traveller, the back used to be full of muck and straw as we used to borrow it for trips out before I was married. Funny enough, I always wanted on of them. still would but prefer an o ld Landrover defender, you could get loads of chickens in one of them!!!!!!!

My mother used to drive goats around in a mini clubman [the half timbered estate version of the mini]. We had to keep the sliding windows in the back open in summer because of the smell from the billy. One day we were stuck at red lights in Plymouth when a Hell's Angel, all coal scuttle helmet and tatoos, pulled up alongside and started gunning his engine. The billy was unimpressed, stuck his head out of the window and snapped his teeth just next to the angles head. The biker looked round and there was this slit eyed horned beast comming at him out of a car. He shot straight through the red lights and dissapeared wobbelling down the road at high speed.

Great story - I wonder what HIS version was like.

Very funny story, can just imajine the scene. Anyway, why did farming types have morris travellers or mini travellers, maybe that wood down the side, my father in laws used to grow grass out of the wood.

We used to fetch calves from the market in the back of the car... We also once went to the Border Union show in a Volvo 340- we took 5 goats, 2 dogs, and all the stuff needed for all of us for an overnight stay!

We also once had a goat fall out of the back of a transit van, at traffic lights in Leven, Fife. We were on the way to a show, and got lost, so we ended up at these traffic lights, when the light turned green my mother pulled away and the back door of the van shot open, and Lee a British Toggenburg milker fell out. Mum stopped the van in the centre of the traffic lights, Billy (family friend- not a billy goat) and I leapt out to chase Lee who ran away up another street and started eating a hedge. Mum leapt out (leaving the handbrake off and the van in gear) to shut the back door of the van and secure it. In the meantime, we had had a 2 week old kid in the cab (because she was too wee to go in with the adults in the back), moved past the gearstick and knocked the van out of gear, at which point it started rolling down the slope!

Mum therefore had to chase after the van to jump in and get the handbrake on! Fortunately all ended well, we caught Lee safe and sound, and even found our way to the show.

Very funny....I used to work with the community drug team and on the national Drug Helpline!!!!!! anyway, talking about mixed metaphors, my brother asked on the internet for grass seeds he only wanted a few to study under his microscope and cultivate them in his laboratory!!!!and had loads of replies as you could imagine,,,he actually is a botanist and studies real grass BUT...many many mooons ago he planted the "other" grass in the wild.

I always have a giggle as my father in law looks identical to the man who Say's N no no no in the vicar of dibley...still laughing at the grass in his Morris minor......
