I heard yesterday about yet another innocent walker being crushed by rampaging cows. Which makes me wonder why it is that no-one has referred the issue of cows on Epsom Common to the Health & Safety Executive. Cows, some of which have serious horns and any of which could easily crush, trample, gore or otherwise damage an innocent walker; a town walker entirely unused to being around cows and quite possibly doing all the wrong things. Like feeding them humbugs by hand. I bet that if one was talking about the same level of risk but associated with, for example, playground equipment or a working practise on a building site, the Executive would have done something about it. So what is it about playing farm which confers exemption?

Or owning a fighting dog for that matter.
