Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Tanker,

Read some second WW2 history.

You will find that the Britain and Allies betrayed Poland and many of the countries which ended up behind the Iron Curtain.

(There were reasons for doing so.)

.

fred so why did all the poles not leave .or did they want to fight for poland and there country

cynic thinks he is smart but is not .
he spouts shite

.....

merely as an interesting aside, it was the poles who had a key role in supplying the crypto-analytical info that opened up the enigma machine codes - whatever hollywood's version tried to make out!

:-)

We were the "winners", so we can judge!

Is that a judgement?

...

horse meat loverly had it many times .
I would be more concerned if i had food
from a curry take away you will never no what shit is in it

if you want good freash meat or fish go to MORRISONS all is done on site
that is were i go

Well that is one place to give a miss.

i almost never buy meat from a supermarket except occasionally sausages or mince and never fish ..... we are fortunate that the owner of our first-class local wet fish shop (getting rarer and rarer) is also a butcher by trade and also offers much better than average meat, much of it locally produced

cynic all morrisons fresh meat is local

English lambs used to imported from England and grazed in Wales and then slaughtered before being sold back in England as Welsh Lamb.

Not sure if this is still going on.

i am fully aware of morrison's ethos ..... however, supermarkets do not have the facility, ability or wish to hang meat for as long as it ideally should be .... in any case, even if they did, i would STILL support my local small guys ..... it is the knotweed-supermarkets who (inter alia) are doing serious damage to the composition and shop-balance of the high streets across the country

I remember back in 1986/87, the scaremongering concerning Welsh lamb and the 'Chernobyl fallout' and the subsequent controls that were put in place - I think they were only recently totally lifted.

fred - i'ld be surprised if it is still not common practice, and indeed is very acceptable, always assuming the fattening-up process is for a "sensible" length of time

It looks like it was only last year!

Chernobyl sheep controls lifted in Wales and Cumbria

Restrictions on hundreds of Welsh and Cumbrian sheep farms dating back to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster have finally been lifted - 26 years on.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the controls were not "proportionate" to the "very low risk" and removing them would not compromise the consumer.
