Greyman 32,618 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago About 50 years ago an old mate went travelling and landed a job in an abattoir in Spain he was given a belt with a selection of hammers on going up to a small sledge for cows and horses the Spaniards also found it amusing to stick a horses beating heart down his shirt because he was English and we like horses 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
