What a good idea Alan a few more dollaps of DODO on the paths and a little earner on the side from beach rides inbetween going up and down the hills with loads of shopping and loads of well oiled folk. Shame i never thought of this earlier. Also all the free manure that the local gardeners can collect.

We have to put up with the VV running around like there are no humans on the paths and all so they can supply builders with mats to build even more human abodes.

O and by the way if its illegal for VV to carry humans why is no one ever prosecuted for commiting said illegal crime??
Or is it that this is a pleasure only the Lamma Leagles can partake of :shock:

Would be a bit like Clovelly without the flower boxes :roll:

Most I've seen in a VV is four blokes.

But why's this in Flore and Fauna?

Horses would require stables: horses would imply horse puckey that would dwarf the dog nuisances.

Elephants would require *mahouts*, father and son, for they outlive the human lifespan. And an elephant nuisance is even worse than a horse nuisance.

Rick-shas would bring back bad memories.

Palanquins and Sedan chairs would require four chaps per person and are entirely too laissez them eat cake.

A good walk to Pak Kok clears the mind unless you fall into the sea on the way.

These are the mules that were used to build the Ngong Ping cable car route. If they could handle Lantau, Tai Peng would be a doddle.

<img src="http://www.news.gov.hk/tc/category/infrastructureandlogistics/041029/features/html/041029p008jpg.jpg" width=600 height=400><br clear=all>
Whilst helicopters transported the bulk of materials, six mules assisted with transporting smaller items, including cement grout, diesel, water and timber. The mules were sourced from Alberta, Canada and were primarily used to traverse the steep and narrow mountain trails between Ngong Ping and Nei Lak Shan on Lantau Island. Weighing approximately 400kg each, the mules transported loads of up to 120kg and worked seven hours a day, six days a week for 14 months.
