Mmm. Strange.

They were reared to be sausages, nice gesture by the farmer.

[bednobs]

me or the story?
They had the farmer on the radio earlier and she was saying that this was some time later, when the pigs were due for slaughter anyway

[Zacs-Master]

Both.

[bednobs]

Jeremy Vine had a big session on this earlier. To me it is not news.

Funny enough I've just had a Sausage and tomato sandwich, I bet theirs were tastier. It's news to me I'm not in Jeremy Vines fan club ;-)

[Hopkirk]

His brother is good though

I do like Tim Vine but 'Not going out' is pants IMO.

Remember a dear friend gently chastising my son for not finishing his dinner by saying "That chicken died for you"

[NoMercy]

I do feel a little bit sorry for the pigs but I bet those sizzlers were tasty :-)

I think it was silly that the firefighters felt they have to apologise for saying they enjoyed the sausages. All this pressure not to 'offend' anyone.

What a po-faced lot PETA is. I think the pigs ended up having a humane death instead of being burnt alive.
