[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 6775112, member: 461"] All the stories, bar one, in his vet books were complete myths. He never ever practised in the North Yorkshire Dales - he only went there for a run out from lowland Thirsk - the land of milk and borrowed money - at weekends. The only true story that I know of was Mrs Pumphrey's? Flop Bot, which he guarded jealously from his colleagues. He even imagined that farmers in Swaledale and Wensleydale would greet him with ''now then Vitinry'' The very idea. ? But John Cherrington's book is a gem. When he asked an Irish vendor of Shorthorn heifers if they were empty or in-calf, the vendor's reply was ''sure, I can guarantee them either way, Sir''. [/QUOTE]
