Turkeys going cheap or rather Atishooo

Forreal

From the News Sainsburys have said poultry sales have dropped by 10% so there will be some bargins available in the poultry sections soon.

Personally I won't be buying Turkey from Bernard Matthews - don't fancy eating something that was probably dying of flu!!!

Another lesson for producers that its just not worth squeezing that bit extra out your profit by buying dodgy stock!!!

no problems here with B.M turkey. I only look back at the egg fiasco with Edwina and the mad cow disease, both of which only served to increase peoples fears and newspaper profits with them vying to see who could get the worst prognosis. None of the turkeys were anywhere near the age to get into the food chain and the virus is very easily killed by cooking anyway. I'm glad that the government took the measures it did but there's no need for us to panic at all.

I've just realised we had bernard matthews turkey burgers on Wednesday, I needed something easy for tea, they were on BOGOF at tesco....Oh dear my husband has just come into the room feeling all hot "like he's coming down with something" (his words not mine). I wonder if he has made the connection !!! I won't tell him.;)

Or man-cold, man-bad back, man-headache, man toothache - the list goes on.

Gertybertyangel, if you are a veggie then you're probably used to being pale and sick anyway, no need to wait for epidemics LOL

And before all the veggies get up on their corn boxes, it was a joke...
