No place for a respectable pig I believe, leastways after dark.

Indeed. When I first moved here it was a quiet and elegant street.

It brought this song to mind.

It was a year ago, September
a day I well remember
I was walking up and down
in drunken pride
when my knees began to flutter
and I fell down in the gutter
and a pig came by and lay down by my side

As I lay there in the gutter
thinking thoughts I could not utter
I thought I heard a passing lady say,
"You can tell a man who boozes
by the company he chooses..."
And with that, the pig got up and walked away

It would have been a sheep instead?

The town where I went to school always had an animal (usually a pig or sheep) tied up in the market square all day every Thursday. An ancient by-law stipulated that the pubs could be open on market day for as long as there was livestock to be sold.

It seems curious in a market down that it is an offence to have livestock in the street - or are pigs different - officially wild animals perhaps?
