They’re all high-tech, dynamic, c, equal opportunit­y employers now w– – not straw-munching yokels with baling twine round their trouserss eyeing up comely milkmaids.

But rather than taking their threshing machines to The Wurzels els – who are still ooh-arring their way around the UK – they’ve stuck their pitchforks into a much-loved old nursery rhyme.

Yep, Old MacDonald’s Farm has been modernised.

Doctor Foster will get a weather her app on his iPhone and the Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe will be referred to social services andd advised to have a coil fitted.

And Wee Willie Winkie can expect to have officers from Operation Yewtree rapping at his window. A SURVEY of airport security itemss reveals the weirdest travellers.. confiscate­d from full of shopp They include a case 100,000 in dummy hands, £ the penis Monopoly money, and a jarr from a Greek statue Someone e of sheep’s eyeballs. 12 even tried to smuggle on to a bags of goldfish been flight.
