I have looked at a few of those sites already funnily enough but I
can't find leghorns on them, which I have sort of decided to want.

Stephen.

Amazing what a google search for Leghorns will turn up
try http://www.omlet.co.uk/breeds/breeds...&breed=Leghorn

Thanks Dave, that's a good site but I'm still looking for a local
supplier of leghorns.

My aunt lives in Greasby, which I think is relatively near Pensby. Not 100%
sure where you are. :-)

I'm originally from New Brighton
(where they have a lovely* new morrisons/Home+Bargain/cinema on the front)

Greasby is just a stones throw from Pensby.
I know the store manager in the New Brighton Morrisons store.

Don't throw stones at my aunt!

I know the store manager in the New Brighton Morrisons store.

My mum loves the place, she visits a couple of times a week at reducing
time. ;-) My dad has newly discovered the butter pies that I lived on at
university! (even better when they're down to 35p for 2)

Don't tell your friend, but I had to complain about the shop when it first
opened. I bought a packet of 4 cheese + onion pasties, ate 3 (not all in
one go!) and took the 4th to work for lunch. Turned out (I found when I cut
them open, not bit into, fortunaetly) the last was a meat one. :-(
Got a 5 pound voucher to compensate. (Which was nice. Although when almost
exactly the same thing happened in the early 90s with me and Tesco, they
sent 25 pound voucher! That's recession for you, I guess!)

I suppose the refund would depend on the value of the item, the
pasties would come under FFPP which stand for Fresh Food Pre-Pack
which is not prepared in-sore so that would not really be the
fault of the store but they would still be held responsible
because they sold it. I bought a pizza from the West Kirby store
which was in the normal cardboard box but when opened and cooked
it was off, I think the box had become unfrozen and then refrozen,
this happens all the time, but you can't check everything.

Ah,but when it happened at Tesco many years earlier, it was /exactly the
same thing/, except it was 1 pasty, not 4. Although the tesco one was
chicken tikka, which actually made me feel ill, cos I bit into it, and I
really can't do anything Indian-spiced. :-(

I bought a pizza from the West Kirby store

First time I hit the pavement during driving lessons was coming out of that
car park and turning left! My driving instructor was shrieking at me, and I
couldn't figure out what at. Totally missed seeing that weird jutting out bit
of kerb.

which was in the normal cardboard box but when opened and cooked

I must admit, I worry about wehether things in supermarket freezers have
stayed frozen all the time or not, given how many times I spot them hanging
around in the wrong place (ie, in the fridge). How often, I wonder, does
someone pick something up that has been put in the wrong place and put it
back? Or even carried around in a basket for an hour or two then put back
cos they don't want it? Before even thinking about the shop doing something
wrong.

The kerb does stick out especially if you are turning left out the
car park, turning right is easier.

I shudder to think about what goes on in some stores that we don't
know about.

Anyway back on topic, does anyone know what variety these chickens
are? I don't recognise them but folk here might.
