How much is your Christmas Turkey?

[Mikey]

Ok, we all like a bargain so I thought I'd find out what the going rate for fresh turkeys are by area.

We are having a Welsh Turkey, don't ask me how that differs from a bronze or a Norfolk, it probably just responds to welsh only. Ti'n siarad Cymraeg twrci? Ydw....?

Ours is coming from the local butchers as my normal farmer has stopped keeping them, and is £3.40 a lb (roughly £7.50kg)

How much is yours, and no GYO'ers unless you are including running costs and slaughter.

You don't eat anything with two legs either, though I have heard you like to wing it a bit?

I'll try and respond without the innuendo.... Dry, you say?. You wanna try a bit of Welsh Turkey then, its always moist round these parts...

Did I get away with it?

4 week old turkeys £12 each
Bag of food £15 each
Slaughter free
Cost of fuel and ferry going to get them ( I don't want to think about it ) was my birthday present.
So works out about £27 for a Turkey.
Will work out what that is per pound /KG after tomorrow!! he is still walking round the field at the moment

I know you are 'veggiechicken' but you are not really a chicken - or at least I hope not

(eat with a knife and fork is what most people are used to )

[Mikey]

And the pecking continues.....

Have you missed me?

[Mikey]

So does anyone want to admit to how much they've spent on their bird this year then?
