Good morning all.

Good Morning all

Morning All,

...Watch out for those birds :-)

- Those birds - a lot of panic about nothing.... A bit like SARS (was that 2 years ago?)

The governments recent guidelines include;

Don't panic
Buy turkey as normal. And chicken. Parrot should be well cooked.
Avoid Greeks and Romanians
Make a will
