A Quiz From The 1970's

[Saffy]

As Mark S says, there isn't much being posted so I am going to pop a few things on to try to get it going a bit. Not really Dexter related but all farming, hope thats OK.... but it might be fun and Merry Christmas.....

1. If my Dad was upset back in the 70's about Fat Hen in the field what was the problem?

2. Still in the 70's I've got a brand new ******* *********? What 2 words should there be instead of asterisks.

3. A great bloke called Myron Leader taught me how to break the bead? This was somewhere on the tractor. Yes, still the 70's. What was I doing?

4. Oh and Dad didn't like to see the mess left by Oonts, or Woonts, what are they?

5. I really liked my Noras what on earth were Noras?

6. If a cow had Black Garget what did she have?

Answers when I think most people have had a go.....

1. Fat hen is a chenopodium, a weed
2. Combine harvester
3. Pass
4. Dunno, possibly worms or moles
5.Welly boots
6. Mastitis, nasty variant

Looks like it is just you and me Louisa!!!
1.You were right.
2.Correct.
3.Its getting the tyre to leave the sides so it can be changed. I was a skinny kid back then and tried everything jumped up and down used a sledge hammer the lot, but got the job done, it was the back wheel of a major, I learned on.
4.Of course you were correct again, its moles.
5. Yes you are right, I believe it usually referred to a type of summer mastitis, seen in cows and sheep. Black because that is the colour the udder went and TBH the stuff you could milk out could also be that colour.....

For number 3 we lay the wheel on ground and use front loader. Or run over with another tractor wheel
