I saw this horse and took his picture, he looked rather sad, "why the long face?" I asked, boom boom, the oldest ones are always the best unless of course you have never heard of the sad expression 'why the long face?' and realise that horses have long faces and if this is the case then I have just wasted about 3.5 seconds of your life (sorry about that)
If you can click on the picture it will make it larger and you may just see my reflection in the horses eye and yes I am wearing my shorts for the first time this year and no they are not white stockings I am wearing but they are my little white legs.
As I walked back to my car I heard a gruff voice say "Give us a quid!" (a quid is slang for an English one pound coin by the way for all you foreign chappies) I turned around and the horse said "That's right, you heard, give us a quid for me letting you take the photo of me!" Now I was really shocked, I have never in all my years come across this before, An English pound for taking a photo!! What a rip off, the horse must have been mad trying to charge so much. "I took a photo of a sheep the other day and he only wanted a sugar lump" I said to the horse "Well, sheep are stupid and they do not understand the rates of inflation and how fluctuations in the growth rate of international currency are effecting stocks and shares in this current economic climate" the horse said.
"Whatever!" I said and ran and jumped in the car driving off in a cloud of dust before he called up his lawyer on his mobile.
Whatever has happened to the sweet horses that I used to know, this lot these days are just animals.
The sun is out today.
Yippee!! Have a great weekend folks.

Perhaps you could have given the long sad faced horse a quick kiss and a gentle pat or scratch between the ears and that would have been enough. Happy week-end to you also.
oh, that shot is beautiful when enlarged, i say it was worth the money.
nice legs.
Martin,
I especially like the part where you and the horse are talking at the same time with the same sentence. A new one on me (unless it's just my lack in reading skills).
Yes, they don't make horses the way they used to. No quality anymore!
Good picture of you, by the way.
That is the coolest thing to capture your reflection in his eye.
You should have at least tried to haggle the horse down to 50 pence.
I hope you put the quid down to expenses?
