A farmer protested in a milk bathSourced
Dressed as Cleopatra, she rode through town in a bathtub of milk.
In 1984, Welsh farmer Thelma Adams protested Britain's milk quotas with a procession through Carmarthen. Her milk bath was meant to draw attention to how little farmers were getting for their milk.
The product at the centre of the dispute became her protest prop.
