If I can enlarge a little on Grace's comments James.
Pluto is indeed the acronym used for the pipeline to supply oil underwater. This was towards the end of WWII. From this technology came PLUTV? Or as it is known, Pipe Laying Utilities to The Village. They are greatly favoured by Cider Farms to dispose of excess production, and such utility lines are very prevalent in the West country. Because there is such a profusion of apples, the village folk are invited to partake of the scrumpy. This is done by installing a Pipe Laying Utility To the Village. Scrumpy cannot be simply poured away you see, since it would contaminate the soil. The scrumpy is the residue from the crushed apples after making the cider. The actual pulp of the apple is allowed to decompose, during which process the inherent sugar turns to alcohol and makes for a very potent drink indeed. So the villagers who wish to take part in the disposal of this almost toxic waste are given the privilige of having it pumped directly to the door. On tap, so to speak. Once you've tasted scrumpy, your taste buds will never recognise the flavour of anything else.
As to the horses Gracie. May they always pause where they will do your rhubarb and roses most good.
