Gobble Gobble...

Well it seems that avian flu has hit our beautiful shores. My barber (see previous post) had a fair bit to say about this last Saturday as he cut my bonce. Its weird i suppose, we had a big scare a while back then nothing for ages and now...Bernard Matthews ruins our february. Apparently 159,000 birds will be culled!!! I cant envisage what 159,000 turkeys would look like, i think I have only ever seen 1 in real life. I do remember a temporary job i had back in the day. I worked for Safeway and was responsible for taking in deliveries in the underground loading bay. I had to take pallets of frozen turkeys off the wagons and push them at high speed up a little ramp on a pallet truck. I remember I had to build up as much speed as possible running towards the ramp and then pull the pallet truck in just right as i only had about 5 inches either side of the pallet truck and the doorway to this frozen cubicle where they were kept. I had these slippy shoes on and I remember thinking that hell was in fact ice cold and full of gobblers. Bootiful ...just Bootiful. Gnight Bernard...
