Don't talk to me about Turkey, got ours out of the freezer on Sat for a thorough defrost, blasted thing was bad smelt awful, had a mad frantic hunt around Tesco yesterday trying to get a fresh Turkey Crown, got the last one, mind you it was A Tesco Finest, I shall be Ba Humbug if it turns out not nice so look out Tesco Customer Services if it aint, Ba Humbug, going to count me screwdrivers now.Nope, think he missed my chimney last night
We are just about to put the turkey on. Need to incinerate it for 10hrs, just to make sure its cooked. Pop the brussels on soon as well, so they're a mush. @SWD will probably say to put me dentures in.

Merry Christmas you lot. Just 5 for Lunch today, so got the full dinner from Cook. Nothing to do, the turkey crown is defrosted and goes in for a couple of hours. All the veg etc is all in the freezer and does in the oven in a half hour. Easey peasey.
There on Pete his coming up with some nice new tools for us for Christmas.Happy Xmas folks. Looking forward to a run round M25 and M1 to sunny Northampton for the day then back again this evening.Good excuse to stay off the sauce today.
I have't knocked them out yet so maybe dentures for next year ;o)))))Nope, think he missed my chimney last night

The first correct answer will win a handful of Wagos!

You have to show your working, though!
Waiting...
