I wasn’t actually being that specific, just accounting for it being a long time since cows were common in the streets of London, there having been at least one major fire in the time since, and cows not generally being flame-retardant 🤷🏻
Note to spell check: no. I do NOT mean to call British cows “flaming retards”, and I’m frankly insulted that you’d think me likely to! 😄
Ah, my pattern recognition went a bit haywire there, haha.
It was a fun little wiki binge though, I keep running into Pepys’s diaries when looking stuff up about London and it’s kinda mindblowing being able to look back in time through his eyes like that, he documented so much. Also this painting of the city on fire is spectacular.
