    As the OP says she is already overweight I wonder just what else she has had sitting on her sofa waiting to be consumed.

    Im sorry but it just is beyond my comprehension - very strange behaviour as far as I am concerned.


    A bit out of line, Infact way out of line.


    I know Julie off mse as well as on mse.
    Before you start ridiculing her weight issues, she has no weight issues, she is a slim tall blond, she doesn't need to lose a pound at all but she feels she needs to and that's up to her.

    Her husbands side is Cypriot not hers.

    She and her hubby have worked very hard and just started a new business, so thoroughly deserve the lifestyle they live.

    No comment regarding the lamb issue as my views are totally different to hers, but knowing Julie like i do, i know she isn't out to be evil to anything let alone a lamb.

    Mum used to say if you can't say something nice - keep quiet - why some people don't understand this I have no idea.

    Enjoy lammy!

    hethmar, I'm not sure why you resurrected this thread after 4 days.

    I don't want to quote your post as I believe it is extremely rude. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but there is no need for downright rudeness (that's my opinion)

    Tbh eating your own meat is far less strange then going to asda and buying their 3 for 50p chickens ( or whatever the going rate is )

    I havent read all the posts , and i may have my own opinions as to this lamb , but I had a friend at school who every year her parents boughy an orphaned lamb fattened it up on the lawn for their freezer .

    Last year we stayed on a working farm for a holiday - they had a few orphaned lambs which we bottle fed each morning. The farm themselves did not have sheep but they had hand reared them for another farmer friend who had sheep and the mother sheep had died.

    The working farm would be getting them as meat when they were old enough for slaughter as a 'thanks'. And they had several children in the family who knew and helped hand rear the baby lambs.

    Someone around here owns goats and lead walks them around the village although I've never seen them as they live a different end of the village. They just keep them in their back garden.

    And also to add, some of North London is quite green and they have farms there. You can be in countryside within 5 minutes of Edmonton or Enfield. Really, you would be surprised. I have family that live in North London - one side of the road it is a concrete jungle and Industrial estates, over the other side it is farms and green Fields.

    Not sure if this will come out but N9 - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=sewardstone%20road%2C%20n9&oq=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

    See the resovoir - to the East of the resovoir this is North London, a few miles north past Waltham Abbey you'll see it is lots of fields and farms, go south not a field in sight it's still North London.

    I just spent almost an hour reading this. I found it quite funny to be honest.

    My aunt married an Egyptian bloke and apparently they often have sheeps head to eat that is bought in N. London. I am sure that if you have the right contacts then you'd not have to look far. It grosses me out but then I won't eat rabbit, duck or pheasant either and my reasoning is a bit pathetic so I won't put it here, LOL.

    But we went to Cuba and there was crocodile on the menu. Someone onece told me they had tried Lion (but was that ever true? Who knows?) One of my ex's bought a baby rabbit and used to have it hopping around the house then they ate it. Weirds me out but we all have our own choices and mine is to not eat it there's was to eat it.

    I used to live in Ponder's End, right in the middle of this map and there was a small farm just back from the main road with goats, chickens, pigs and even a shetland pony! It was pretty much the case that everything south of the A110 was residential and quite built up and north of it was fairly green, getting greener up to the M25. There are also a lot of big houses with huge gardens in some parts of Enfield and Barnet.

    Yes, some of those houses are amazing. On the road up to Epping too. Up Sewardstone Road there are some farms up there - thinking about it there are lots of sheep that graze around those reservoirs too so there must be a sheep farm somewhere near there.

    I've an aunt and uncle in Ponders End, family come from Enfield, some family in Edmonton. We escaped when I was a baby thank god. My nan used to live in that big tower block that was near the train station near the Green - there was 4, she lived in the 1st one after going under the tunnel. They pulled that down a few years ago now but I will always remember getting stuck in the lift when I was 9 because I was messing around with the buttons.

    That is a really nasty thing to say, Hethmar.


    Why is it nasty? Im not the one who said the OP was overweight, she has it in every post she puts on here.


    And if you dont think talking about taking the lamb for walks in a park with your kids and adding a photo of that little trusting soul in a cot when you are planning to slaughter and eat him isnt strange then I dont know what to say.
