Normally most of the crew can finish the dominoes, go to the toilet, grab walking sticks, zimmers etc. in less than an hour.<br /> Sam, one of the firemen, said it was not the crew to blame. They were not too quick as usual but nothing like two hours. Recently the horses used to pull the fire appliances had been replaced. In keeping with new local bye-laws only retired horses can be used and unfortunately one of the horses had spent the first part of its retirement galloping all over Oxfordshire and just couldn't hack it any more. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=97#post-357 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:35:09 +0000 Stan Laurel 357@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes.
