Now taking your guide dog on a plane is understandable but a peacock – now that’s really pushing things even if you do book a seat for it!

Nevertheless the New York based photographer and performance artist, VENTIKO, claimed that she had a right to take the bird on board as an emotional support animal even though she’d failed to provide supporting documentation from a medical professional within the required 48 hours before take-off.

Well I don’t know about you but I don’t think I’d have been too keen to find myself sitting next to a peacock on the plane.

You’d always wonder whether it was completely house trained and whether it might take a fancy to any snacks or other food you might want to eat.

And would its owner take it with her if she left her seat for any reason?

In the end UNITED AIRLINES were adamant that the bird would not fly and so had to make the journey back to New York from Los Angeles, by car.

I wouldn’t have wanted to be in that car either!

On today’s BYGONES feature, Margaret Mills related the tale of SAMUEL WYATT, a postman who’s round for 30 years encompassed Bardfield, Finchingfield, and at one time also Thaxted.

The size of his round meant that he had to cover up to 26 miles a day all on foot for up to 6 days a week.

When he retired at the age of 54 he was presented with a certificate but it is not known if he received a pension or any other kind of financial reward.

Listen again here to what Margaret told me: –

See you again next week,
