At work this morning had to remove all pork and bacon produce, f***ing sh*t load!!
Even the pizzas with ham toppings got the chop

All morning the guys coming in with their weekend hangovers for the breakfast roll were sorely disappointed, mind you the cooked chickens are going at a fair rate..every cloud etc.,

Might not be a good time to buy shares in Irish Pork & Bacon
:roll:

Not sure the chickens would share that perspective, John :)

Funny how these things keep on happening. I wonder is it that the nature of farming today ensure an unhealthy lifestyle and diet for the animals and therefore an increasingly dodgy end product.

Just a thought but maybe we should all eat a bit less meat anyway.

Election id right. It's time to get a new leader. Enda ke... oh hold on. Let's not be too hasty.

Seriously though. This selective bail out sh*t is really annoying. We've let 50% of our satff go this Year, with more to go after Christmas. No sign of any bailouts here. Just pay cuts and fingers crossed things turn around before it's too late.
