Horse meat.

There's just been another piece on the news about all this. Apparently in light of the situation, increased DNA testing of meat is happening, BUT, only testing for horse. I guess that means there could be other types of meat in there that would go unnoticed. Rat? Road kill?

Incidentally, totally unrelated, but here's a little true story to throw into the mix (pardon the pun). When I was a kid, there was a well documented spate of people's pet dogs and cats going missing from the area, over a period of several months. For possibly unrelated reasons, a local takeaway was quite suddenly closed down by the local authorities. There was never (to my knowledge) a public declaration as to why it was closed without notice, but after it was, there were no further incidents of people's pets going missing.

 

Mr Mum is an ex-prison officer. I asked him (once) if he ever worried about bodily fluids being put in his tea?

"I don't think about it!"

(he flipping should have done! Or, made his own!)

 

What? That would be an unusual thing for him to put in his tea.

 

18 yrs ago, there was a spate of cats going missing locally. In fact, over a period of two years (and, bearing in mind "replacements") I had four cats go missing (two returned home in, literally, a deathly state). Nor was I the only one.

Cause? Yoofs!!

Never be too hasty to point the finger at cultural differences sometimes, the real answer lies closer to home than we'd like to think.

 

Silly billy Should have made his own TEA!

 

Oh flub!!

You peering into my brain and re-arranging things again, arm? I don't know what to think (again!)

 

You are awful; but I like you

 

You're safe: Mr Mum is safely tucked up in bed

 

Too funny!
