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. . . . Don Firth |

From: GUEST 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!) |
