          Ahh the days of sheep dipping..... always used to get dragged into doing that, putting the sheep in that is. !

          Would make a good water feature after a clean up !

                  The senior health visitor I had for my eldest son used to tell me tales of farming in the 1940s and she told me how the farming families used the sheep dip to control head lice in kids:yikes:

                            Just to add before I've get social workers at my door, I didn't take this as advice and dip my kids!

                              Wasn't the chemicals used in dipping, indicated as one of the causes for suicide in "farmers"? Didn't mention how many farm hands affected though which was a worry!
