Avian flu at their preferred supplier. They weren't prepared to compromise (we got a letter and I think those words were used) on quality of the birds offered, so were completely withdrawing organic turkeys for Xmas.

£700 on food is obscene. It's only a large roast dinner after all.

I want to know his shopping list

does finbar have good enough connections?

The letter was really funny. Full of stuff about "kwalidee" and their ethos and unwillingness to sell customers an ordinary organic turkey. Oh no, if the turkey has not been fed on the finest food while bedded down on a goosedown feather bed, then is not good enough for waitrose.
My mum is doing christmas this year. Think she went to the co-op!

This is a turkey with a degree in aeronautical engineering and grade 8 in the oboe. It can gobble in 5 different languages, including sanskrit and up until the point it had it's neck broken (by a concert pianist with very gentle hands) it was truly happy. Enjoy...!

ok here I am....the £700 was purely on food - three trollyets...but inthe intersts of research DH has just told me that last year a bloke spent £1000 just before CHristmas..an then came back in between Christmas and New Year and spent the same again!!

good lord

am speechless

is it always blokes

at this point feel compelled to admit to having spent a not dissimilar sort of amount meself, even tho I tried to save a few quid by getting things from ASDA yesterday

mine was not just food tho

was socks and booze and stuff

iCod will get my DH sacked if I am forced to disclose any more

( but while I'm on..the checkout staff have competition to see who gets the highest spending cusotmer!)

well booze could easily get to 700

time for a few more insider anecdotes before I go and puke in my own waitrose?

I might also do a poo there
