The price of beef and lamb has gone through the roof apparently according to our beef farmer friend on livestock markets as people are stopping buying chicken as they could catch bird flu from them ! .......huh!!! Shocked

Yeah, I'm hearing similar things at work, too. Yet they'll still eat a scrotum burger...

Having now seen the programme any idea of it being sensible and factual disappeared out the window relatively quickly.

The experts were trotted out to scare us all and synically frighten governments into plunging billions of pounds their way to help save us all from armaggedon.

all this wipped into virtual reality by hysterical saber rattling from the fictitious storyline slipped in to add authority to the nonsense.

I wouldnt be surprised if theres panic buying in the supermarkets and I'm sure they will be only too pleased to offer 3 anti flu masks for the price of 2 ,get yours now before stocks run out!!!

Rolling Eyes

the former contents of that scrotum burger spring to mind!!!

I watched it..... what a load of rubbish, same bloke with the dodgy hairdo and horrific pale blue jacket talking tripe. Empty streets, couples holding hands in living room while news tells how many hundreds of millions are dropping dead all over the World, loving shocked looks at each other. Nearly choked on me coco!! Rolling Eyes

I can see it now, crosses on doors, mass graves, tumbleweed down Oxford Street, mad flesh eating zombie chickens!! Wink

Haven't they got something better to report on, I wasted nearly an hour watching that old codswallop!! Evil or Very Mad
