They could have been. The worldwide web says that horses lie down every day - you learn something all the time. But then, as Richard points out, so do London buses.

Hardly everyday....in fact, as I recall, it"s pretty hard to roll one of those bad boys. I think there is legal requirement of something like 28 degrees from vertical.

I"ve been trying to find an article / video of the testing but it"s proving elusive.

A local radio station, Wave 105, is broadcast in the factory and we can hear it clearly in our office. They have quite a limited MOTR playlist which changes from time to time, a mixture of 80s and current easy listening, which is very pleasant most of the time. I"m quite content to work with Queen or Rihanna in the background. But they are driving me spare with what must be the worst song ever. Justin Timberlake has one out that is the most tuneless, awful, horrible, grating noise I have ever heard. And it has been on at least twice a day for the last month. I was just about to post this and the bloody thing has come on again.

A lot of people were late for work here today. The Festival of Speed is on at Goodwood this weekend, starting yesterday, which means very long traffic delays on the carriageway by Chichester. Other entertainment events tend to start a bit later in the day, but not this one. According to the website "The action on the hillclimb commences at 08:45hrs on each day of the event. Gates open at 07:00hrs, which provides a great opportunity to look around the paddocks before the action begins. Car parks are free and open at 06:30hrs". No matter what time you leave for work or to go home, you will get caught in the traffic. There is no quiet window.
The programme shows that 8.45-9.30am today is "Land Speed Record, Pioneers, Pre-War, Classic Endurance Racers, World Sports 1953-68, 911", so I can see why people who are interested in cars get there early. I have no interest, and upset a guy I was working with a couple of years ago when I mentioned that I hadn"t bothered to use some free tickets I had come by.

Red Arrows flying overhead for half an hour. What a waste of money. Abolish imo.

I worked as a steward at the festival of speed a few years ago. Not really interested in cars either but a brilliant day out, although not a cheap one. A beautiful part of the world.
