I seem to remember a story about a Farmer who used to take his to the pub of an evening, have a skinful and then climb back up for the return home. He didn't need to guide the horse (he couldn't he was too far gone), as it knew it's own way home.

I wonder how the rules today apply to that?

:lol: Was talking to a mate the other night. He reminded me about the fact that the dust bin men's cart used to be horse drawn when we were kids :roll:

In my time the only common H&C were the Rag&Bone men.

Although the Dustcarts were motorised, they were loaded from the side and had three sliding lid compartments so that the Binmen could sort & "grade" the rubbish at the point of collection.

What a good idea! You'd think they could start something like that now...

OR!

They could have started that as part of their duty way-back-when....

Then get lazy, councils could get tight and not bother at all, then ramp up taxes that pay for such services, then they could start making the public do it and charge them more for the priviledge!

What an idea! ;)
