I'm sorry but it did make me chuckle.........my brother, an Oswaldtwistle man, was once promised a turkey from a bloke called Tommy......he never got it and since then we sort of have a family joke........Tommy promised and every turkey we have had gets called Tommy..umm.
The first year we lived in Tenerife, when neither of us could speak a word of the language, we went to the local butchers and ordered a turkey. I, not knowing the word, was gobble gobbling around the shop until the bloke sussed it out. On Xmas Eve we went to collect it, only to find that there were around sixty folk in front of us...........we went next door to the bar, kept checking our number.........I've never been so drunk!
