Recalling conversations just after the First World War of how to get home after a few jars of ale:-<\/span><\/div>\n

In 1919 I remember my elders discussing how a farmer got home after market and drinks in the pub, when he was tipsy. The relative merits of the familiar pony and trap or the new-fangled car were aired and I remember it being said that the farmer\u2019s own pony was a good conveyance home for him, for they just clicked the word to the pony, which would then take him several miles safely home \u2013 but it was not like this with the car. I also remember being driven in a pony and trap and the only protection from the rain was a big umbrella held over all the occupants of the trap \u2013 a pleasant idea on a sunny summer day, but very cold on a cold wet day.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
