Strangely enough, I never ventured out to see

But the turkey and stuffing sandwiches!?!?! Best bit of Christmas! eeek:

Indeed ~ but not until after Christmas day. Turkey this side of Christmas is just wrong.

There is a sign outside a shop in Windsor high street...

"The Goose will be lean this year"

WTF?  Shrugs:

Is it some secret password like? I was thinking of going in and saying "Autumn comes early in the Urals" to see if they handed me a big fat envelope full of fivers like...?

BTW it is a wine shop...  rubschin:

Poor Mr Wench ~ for once I feel sorry for him.

I ALWAYS managed to avoid the Turkey Dinner options at all business events (by pleading vegetarianism if necessary).
IMHO it completely ruins Christmas to start the Turkey and trimmings before the 25th.
We are having a multi bird roast (Duck Chicken and Pheasant) this Christmas Day but a 4 kilo turkey will be cooked as well, so that I can have cold turkey through to New Year. cloud9:
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

My bruvvers wife has insisted on me ...and the rest of the Growlers ...cooking summat for their/our tea this coming saturday....Jamie Oliver crap comp type thing, think I've mentioned it before in a previous rant.

Apparently "it's going to be ....fun", and I must join in with the frivolities. ::)
