I have never been one to mock Health and Safety guidelines, nor warnings/allergy information on food. Between them they save injuries and lives. But I chuckled at this one.

I popped out for the turkey yesterday and came home with one from Tesco. I noticed when unwrapping it that it bore this warning:

CAUTION
THIS PRODUCT WILL CONTAIN BONES

I'm still struggling to visualise a field full of live boneless turkeys.

would put a whole new meaning on "

Support Your local Turkey Sanctuary"

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

Went down stairs just after 11am and The Hairy Bikers were on , preparing Turkey Escalope's. Maybe someone is commercially farming those boneless turkeys after all :D
