Normal for Norfolk

[mike]

Me & Mrs Mike had a great day at the Norfolk farming show on wednesday, I havent been to one in about 20 years, it's reassuring to see how little has changed!

There were cows:



and a few pigs:


some beer:


and the main reason for being there were the sheep (that's my dad dressed as a doctor)



and dad being interviewed for radio 4!

Oi! You've nicked me godmother!

Pardon me for being pedantic but be ver very careful if you try to get milk from the  big black beast with a ring through his nose.

I really do not think it is a cow, but a fair sized aberdeen angus bull.

That were my thought too.

A bit like calling Giant Haystacks a gurl.

It may look like milk, but it's not nice in tea.

Frum wikipedia: "Cow" has been in general use as a singular for the collective "cattle" in spite of the objections of those who say that it is a female-specific term, so that phrases such as "that cow is a bull" would be absurd from a lexicographic standpoint.

Fair point tho.  I wondered why it objected when I attached the cluster.
