IT may not have been a china shop, but these dramatic CCTV pictures show what happened when an out-of-control young bull charged through a local supermarket.

Miraculously, no one was hurt when the animal escaped the clutches of its owner and ran into Cummins' Super-Valu in Ballinrobe, Co Mayo.

My cousins, Brigid and Martin, own a farm in Clare. They have sheep, cows and bulls. Martin is always warning me not to wander onto fields on my long walks. Says he, "If the boglands don't get ya the bulls will.":wah:

If he made it to the meat department he'll never be the same again.

We are visiting County Clare to go see Quin's namesake "Quin Abbey".

Funnily enough, I was in Balinrobe only 12 months ago, I didn't bring a bull with me though. :wah:

I remember once seeing a whole herd of heifers running down the road once they had broken out of a local cattle mart, it was an odd, amusing sight.

I wonder now will yer man have to fork out a load of money for insurance, and do the insurance company cover farmers for bull-related shop damage, its an interesting one and no mistake. :thinking:

I could hear my family now if I came home and told them there was a bull in the store while I was trying to shop. :yh_rotfl

Chonsi, I see potential in the title of this thread, we could have a "FG Room" called Rampant Bull
