A few years ago, a major ferry company ran a special offer for struggling farmers wanting to bring livestock from Orkney, to Scotland

Instead of the regular Charge of £100, farmers taking stock to market on the Scottish mainland only paid £6.

Strangely almost every car getting onto the ferry had a couple of sheep in the back.

I'm surprised some enterprising farmer wasn't standing at the docks selling chickens for £30 each to tourists.

Haha! That would have upset the ecosystem, wouldn't it? The place would have been overrun by chickens! What are chickens the natural predator of? ;)
