Bugger! Missed it! I daresay it will be appearing on one of those 'bloopers' programmes soon, tho'...

read that in the paper yesterday. My girlfriend and I were amazed. It had jumped (Allegedly) a six foot fence to get out of the market.

Doesn't always happen this way. News item I heard maybe fifteen or twenty years ago:--   I can't recall the circumstances now, but one other time a bull wound up in a china shop, and contrary to expectations, nothing much happened. People stood rooted to the spot in panic while the bull wandered around the shop, up one aisle and down the other, sort of like a browsing customer. Then he apparently got bored and wandered out again. No breakage. Sort of blows the image. . . .

I saw this on TV. They pointed out that the bull showed a particular liking for British china - royal plates and that sort of thing, or maybe that was just a load of bull.

I live near that antiques market and know it quite well - quite how thousands of pounds worth of valuable goods were damaged there, I really can't understand, even taking a rampaging bull into consideration! (Poor thing!)

Notice the elegant restraint with which the BBC avoids the obvious headline!

Many years ago there was a live TV comedy show by Steve Allen. They're the ones who led a bull into a china shop. It was quite well behaved. I saw it. Of course, no one was shooting at it.
