OK, I think we've milked this enough. We could go on about a cow mincing down the line until - well, until the cows come home - but personally I'm udderly fed up with it all. I just hope the farmer beefs up his security.

I open this post hoping to find the normal pun-fest that I have come to expect from this forum.

I will just have to look in an udder place.

I understand your udder disappointment, as I too would have expected our members to fillet with puns.  However, if this is overdone, I hope to get at least a pat before I'm cowed into accepting my misteak.  Without mincing my words, I don't think that cow would have had a leg to stand on if it had been hit by that High Speed Train, which would otherwise have been going hell for leather through Nailsea & Backwell.  Lawyers would obviously milk that for all its worth, so they can take their prime cut.  The whole outcome could so easily have been simply offal to behold.

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Oh  yes...drum roll for CfN for making up. I did have to read the OP (Original Poster / topic starter) a couple of times because I thought the lack of puns had gone past-your-eyes...
