Ooh, just had an email from one of the Mystery Shopping companies I work for. They've offered me a contract to do audits at my local T's Extra store - the one where there are Queen Trouts. Hmmm....

Think the old speckled hen was mislabelling. Tins all scan correctly but BOTTLES are not included in the offer.

Actually all swans are NOT owned by the Queen, this was once discussed on QI, confirmed here, she owns unmarked mute swans on open water http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8158652.stm

Therefore it would seem if the swan was unmarked and was not a mute swan then it doesn't belong to anyone and is fair game. HOWEVER saying he "can't sell it through the shop" is hardly a testiment to legality. Up to you whether you report it but you have probably already committed a crime here.

The swans - usually two parent birds and three cygnets - are then weighed, ringed and checked for signs of disease or injury.
The annual event dates back to the 12th Century when the ownership of all unowned mute swans in Britain was claimed by the Crown in order to ensure a ready supply for banquets and feasts

What's good for the goose is good for the gander!!:cool:

Please note this passage in the above article:While the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act protects all swans and makes it illegal to kill them, the Queen still technically owns all the swans in Great Britain, except for those in the Orkney Islands where the swans belong to the people. However, the Wildlife and Countryside Act applies in the Orkney Islands as well, which limits the rights of the people of the Orkney Islands to watching but not killing or eating their swans.

I can confirm it is very tasty!!

Swan meat is supposed to be quite tasty and from ancient times to the nineteenth century, roast swan was on the menu for the king's Christmas dinners and other royal banquets. Since the nineteenth century, the turkey has replaced the swan as the bird of choice for fall and winter holiday feasts.

Carcass buried in garden, thanks FK!
