Sheep magazine Archive 2: issues 10-17

Increasingly the car was being danced about the road by the frantic
and wild-eyed sweating men, the troupe being led by Mr Du and
his nodding head swished this way and that, Mr Van now leaving a
bloody trail as he ground his knees into the road. The large group
of onlookers looked on in silence, none volunteered to take over, to
build new blocks to rest the car on … or help drag Mr Van out. A
scene of absolute madness, the only sound being 30 pairs of shoes
soft-shoe-shuffling, the weighty car sailing this way and that. This
went on for what seemed like forever.
To us kids it was the funniest thing we had ever seen, rivalling
any short reel of black and white twenties slapstick comedy that
preceded the main feature at Saturday Morning Kiddies Club at the
Odeon … and then the pop as they dropped the car on Mr Van.
