Maybe everyone will want one per house, even though it's total gluttony, and we'll want more!

I never understood the love for turkey. It's just second-rate chicken.

ah at least they are trying to disguise the need for low wages as an excuse to import cheap wages.

Luckily there are so many well paid jobs out there some of them will even make minimum wage after deductions for PPE etc. you can see why the locals are snapping the jobs up.

Doom! - Xmas Turkey off the menu

Pot noodle and a bottle of Tizer from Christmas dinner.

Shortage of poultry workers could hit Christmas dinner

Christmas dinner could be ruined this year as supplies of traditional turkeys could run out, an industry body says.

The problem is a shortage of skilled workers to process the meat, according to the British Poultry Council (BPC).

It said 1,000 EU workers were needed to stop Christmas supply from collapsing, and urged the government to exempt them from quarantine rules.

"The great British Christmas cannot survive without access to non-UK labour," said boss Richard Griffiths.

He said there is a dearth of UK workers with the right training and qualifications to slaughter and process the nine million turkeys reared for Christmas.

"Turkey producers are heavily reliant on licensed and trained EU workers with specific farming, processing, and butchery skills.

"These skills cannot be replaced without a lengthy training and recruitment period."
