When Daisy was new to the North Western Railway and refused to pull the milk van, she told everyone that it was her fitter's orders and stated that the fitter arrived every week to examine her. According to Daisy, the fitter told her not to pull and that pulling was bad for her swerves, however, this turned out to be an excuse so Daisy would not have to pull the milk van.
