Dear All,

Just so as you don't think I'm pulling the p1ss out of your regulations (as easy as it may be), there is one Ashtrayan one that comes to mind.

I can't remember the exact detail, but it is still illegal to drive a car (anywhere) that is not carrying a bale of hay or fodder under some circumstances. Obviously the regulation was created just as cars hit the roads here...but it has never been updated.

So if you have ever wondered just where the saying "Well that's the last straw" came from, it was Mrs Gwendolyn Briggs of Little Hartley telling her husband to pull into the nearest LiveStock supplier.

Rumor has it that he got the required bale, but ran out of gas shortly after and ended up having to push Gwendolyn and the car the remaining 15 miles. When he finally got home, he constructed a bridle system so that his old nag could pull the car along, fed by the hay...which made Gwendolyn irate, as she hated the taste of horse fodder*.


Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.
