Beware of Sheep..

Featured Replies

As the title states...

Hope this gives some light relief on first days back to work for most !

 

Basically just returned from a great weekend of climbing in sunny Yorkshire. Managed to find a set of OM roof bars last week on the bay of e and also got myself a roof box. Living the dream, love my rs even more now .

 

However check out the dents down the side ... beware of angry sheep attacking their reflection in your once mint bodywork ! If i hadnt seen it with my own eyes I'd have thought my car had been vandalised lol.  ( which it has but by a sheep )

 

Baaaaaloks, Chris

Mutton stew for dinner tonight?

get the flock out of here 😁

 

Reminds me of life in times of old in a Highland Village. One of our local Bank Managers wife first had  a Hillman Imp, which she managed to destroy the engine on by ignoring the oil light on a 45 mile drive. Next car ( in true bank manager fashion)  was a Rover 2000 . Every Sunday I saw him out polishing it . But Our village was in "crofting country" where sheep had precedence over other things like cars. ( In truth ,the only car I saw come off best with a sheep was the bigger version of a Moggy 1000, driven by ,I suspect ,a truck farmer on way home from Sunday drink session). It was like sheep pinball.

Back to tale. One Sunday Bank manager had finished his weekly routine of washing/waxing and polishing his Rover, and along came a Ram, spotted it's reflection in the mirror finish of the Rover and it was then "Wham, bang, thank you reflection" and rover had a nice set of horn prints on the driver side . Dogs also were not safe. It's not the first time I've seen a terrier being rolled down the road by a ram .

Gardens, we found that with a four foot fence, that what was needed was a border on the fence of some yellow plant.

Wouldn't want to get fleeced!

That was a baaaaaaaahd joke

I'd like to see ewe do better. 

BAA BERA has no road sense as we found in the west Highlands. A nice warm road on a cold night and she'll be hogging the heat n the night. Not nice in sub zero conditions.

Reminds me of an incident many years ago when a colleague had a week old Ford Orion company car that he took the family to West Midlands safari park.

 

He was driving through the Giraffe enclosure when a baby Giraffe walked between the two lanes of cars, fell and hit the A post, breaking the screen, bending the A post and door frame. The picture he drew for the insurance claim form was hysterical!

 

The Giraffe was fine by the way.
