DUCKWING 302 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 WELL LADS , ONE HELL OF A LOT OF THE TRAVELLERS AND WANNABEES IN THIS AREA TRAVEL TO APPLEBY EACH YEAR ...... A LOT WITH NO THOUGHT FOR THERE SAFETY OR OTHERS .......... THERES BEEN MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS WITH LOOSE HORSES AT NIGHT OR THROUGH BEING TETHERED ON ROAD SIDES BY IDIOTS .... AND EVERY YEAR IT GETS WORSE PERSONALLY I THINK THEY SHOULD BE MADE BY LAW TO HAVE A FLASHING AMBER LIGHT AT THE REAR OF THERE LIVING WAGONS ETC ..... JUST LIKE WAGONS HAVE TO WITH WIDE SLOW MOVING VEHICLES .......... IT COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES AND OTHER ROAD USERS DUCKWING Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'll be there! I won't however be taking any gear to sell! I might see if I can get a good price for my soon to be ex bird, maybe trade her for a cart horse, after all I can't complain about that being too heavy, hairy, slow and shite company can I? You don't fancy a trip up then Mr Bosun? Reckon it'll be an interesting day out if I keep myself to myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
