Deciding whether it was probably a horse, rather than possibly a cow, for example?  Roll Eyes Shocked Grin

Well - that will help decide whether to send the meat off for beefburger or - err - beefburgers

Although the pack of the burgers in question were not described as beef burgers on the packaging, simply as burgers. My Iceland pack are described as "Griddle Burgers" as the product name.

For those in the mood, there is a stock selection of puns available on this forum at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=8295.0  Roll Eyes Wink Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
