ok i have started this as i want to know what the strangest thing is that you have seen being towed, myself it was a canal barge `trying` to be towed out of a canal by a ford mondeo, it had hit shallow water near a lock and could not move, in the end it turned out the prop had dropped down and was dragging, must say though the mondeo did a good job of dragging it out.......witht he help of a tractor

This is SSOOO WRONG

On the Beeb's Countryfile a few years back, I saw an amazing device that helps in cleaning and treating cow's hooves. Basically, the cow walks into and is strapped into the device, which then picks the cow up and rotates it so that it's hooves stick out sideways.

I was amazed only a couple of days later, to see exactly that device being towed down the M6. Has anyone else seen a cow rotator being towed?

Surely that's not good for the cow's well being

It's bad enough when the dog sticks it's head out the window, but following a gravitationaly challenged cow on the motorway is a recipe for disaster

Errr ........ it was the machine I saw. I didn't say there was a cow actually in it.

Loads of times.
I think unless you know what it is you are not going to guess.

We used to do some odd things
And I'm glad to say I still do

This is a pic of my friends caravan, towed by his horse and cart. This was in the sand dunes at Talacre, about 30 is miles from home. He pulled the caravan all the way there with his horse. Got some funny looks, can't think why.

Sadly he is no longer with us, but some good times were had.
I am in the pic, so go easy on the "pikey" comments
