maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted July 10, 2005 From the official site today: Bernard Matthews today farms 8 million turkeys every year in the UK, feeding them a strictly vegetarian diet from the company's own feed mills and rearing them on 57 farms throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and Lincolnshire. The company prides itself on creating healthy, high quality turkeys, maintaining the highest standards of agriculture and bird welfare. ALIVE!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted July 11, 2005 In response to your question, the lead singer of "Dead or Alive" was NOT Bernard Matthews, but Pete Burns. I'm not sure where your confusion arises, unless it's something to do with being trussed up like a turkey... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted July 11, 2005 Well, what do you know?! I've just been on one of those lyric sites and found the original lyrics for the song. I think we may be onto something here: Yeah I, I got to know your name Well and I, could trace your private number baby All I know is that to me You look like you're bootiful Open up your juicy thighs I want some, want some Well I...I set my sights on you (and no one else will do) And I, I've got to have my way now, baby All I know is that to me You look like you're bootiful Open up your juicy thighs Watch out, here I come You truss me right up, baby right up like a turkey, baby Right up gobble gobble You truss me right up, baby Right up like a turkey, baby Right up gobble gobble I, I got be your friend now, baby And I would like to move in Just a little bit closer (little bit closer) All I know is that to me You look like you're bootiful Open up your juicy thighs Watch out, here I come (*Repeat) gobble! gobble! gobble! gobble!

Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 3, 2007 He is still alive and recently received another award: Bernard Matthews, the famous Norfolk turkey farmer, who already has a CBE, is also made a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) for services to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

How exactly is that personal service to the Royal Family? Do they get free chicken or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olveres 8 Posted January 3, 2007 They get free Turkey Twizzlers for life, much to Jamie Oliver's dismay!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M.Lawrenson 11 Posted February 3, 2007 Nothing I could hear about Bernard Matthews' farm would surprise me. What with his frozen turkey roast being basically meat paste (poultry producers love freezing their product as it means they can add more water to bulk it up). He also sources much of his turkey 'meat' from Hungary - which means it must be cheaper than his own farm stuff so heaven knows what conditions it's produced in.

Dr Jekyll 0 Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) I'm sure each and every turkey at the bernard matthews farm in suffolk had a name. I would enter them all but a bit busy at the moment. [Topics merged - ff] Edited February 7, 2007 by football_fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted February 6, 2007 I'm sure each and every turkey at the bernard matthews farm in suffolk had a name.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted February 6, 2007 A colleague of mine once worked for a summer at one of Mr Matthews 'farms.' After what he told me, not only will I never eat Mr Matthews meat, I can never play hacky-sack again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted February 6, 2007 ......not only will I never eat Mr Matthew's meat.... That's a relief. The image alone was alarming enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted February 6, 2007 Since the outbreak of bird flu on his farm, Bernard Matthews has been conspicuous by his absence. Unless he appears on TV soon, I'm going to start wondering if he has terminal cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted February 6, 2007 Good call, there's talk about animal theme teams on the next CPDP, so that's worth a visit as well. Looks like you lost another potential team member - Bush's Komodo Dragon "Naga" dead at age 24 of an abdominal infection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
