YESflames out of the exhaust out of the dartford tunnel up the A2 IN A BMC and AUSTIN going to drop cows off at sheerness forthe night ferry they went across live [on the hoof] the flames would light under the body as if on fire we used to laugh a lot about it and stop at the halfway house pub for the last pint[s] before closing and on to sheerness to run them off then we would drive all the way back to daventry get back about3amish to start another15 hr day or more,15 cows then would weigh about 8 tons on a 4 wheeler.

Never had to reckon on the weight of cattle, but we used to reckon on 20 inches one bum, 20 bums one ton when calculating passenger loads.
