LOL the vet from our practice was John Crooks & he was a brilliant surgeon & he & Alf Wight(James Herriot's real name)got up to some real high jinx.My old vet trained together with Alf Wight and qualified at the same time, and was mentioned in one of the books written about AF him as always getting very nervous before an exam and spending ages in the toilet, LOL. He was quite a character that vet, sadly died a few years ago.
