So today about 30 or so cars, half of which have horse boxes, have appeared in our small town and have decided to park on an extremely busy roundabout.

The roundabout is busy as it’s next to an outlet centre. There’s plenty of parking in the outlet centre and there’s also an empty Sunday market carpark at the other end of the town. But instead these folks have decided to mount their horse box cars on the pavements, as well as in the road and any and every grassy verge.

its absolute pandemonium as now there’s only width for one car at each roundabout point. There’s also no space for people to use the pavement and I’ve seen people with prams and walking sticks go into the road quickly to get past all the range rovers.

any point in reporting this to the local police? It’s been like that since 9am this morning. The roundabout is usually busy as it’s next to the outlet but with this it’s carnage.

The owners of said cars have set up tables in the beer garden of a pub also in the roundabout and are selling saddles and look half cut.

am I wasting my time reporting this? As I said there’s a perfectly safe and usable Sunday market with space for 100 cars that’s a 1 minute drive away and completely empty right now.

A horse went into a pub.
Why the long face?

Sorry couldn't resist.

A white horse went into a pub.
The barman said "Hey, we have a whisky named after you!".

The horse said "What, Eric?"

One of my favourite simple jokes.

A woman walks into the butcher and says "Have you got a sheep's head?"

"No" says the butcher "It's just the way I comb my hair."
