Did you mean why did I not know what to say? I think the irony of the Turkey Man dying on Turkey day just seemed too much. I couldn't decide whether to be respectful or roll out the turkey jokes :eek:

At the cremation wrap him in foil and don't turn the oven off until the juices are all runny.

Do you think they'll stick one of those pop-out thermometers into him? Not touching the bone, of course.

There were more grim headlines in 2006 when an animal welfare group called for an inquiry after a court heard how two Mr Matthews' workers were filmed playing "baseball" with live turkeys.
