'And the horse never broke a bottle!'
Sean tells the story of the horse that pulled a milk cart down a flight of stairs.
“When I was wee we had a horse with a milk cart on it,” says Patrick in Derry. “It came down a flight of steps. My father was working for the dairy then but it wasn't his horse...”
“I interviewed the man who was in charge of the horse that day,” Sean says. “Mr O’Donnell was the man and he told me he had a summer job with the a local dairy, driving a horse and cart. The horse would walk up Marlborough Street, and that was when Mr O’Donnell decided to take a short cut down the steps, thinking the horse would stay at the top. But the horse followed him down thirty or forty steps! And it never broke a bottle!”
With music from Blondie, Paul Carrack, Chuck Berry, and more.
