My Grandad used to do it on the side when he was young- he said it was awful as they knew when they were to be killed and would scream and desparately try to escape. |

No, but I do have three generations of carpenters. My Great Grandmother was a toll gate keeper. I think that is quite romantic but I bet she didn't when she had to go and collect the tolls in the rain and snow! Beryl |

The gamekeeper used to patrol the Welbeck estate in Notts with his gun terrifying everyone and the pig slaughterer was an alcoholic! |
