If the mad cow doesn't get you

My usual weekend ritual is to make myself a big breakfast at home. Ham and egg sandwich, bowl of cereal, orange juice and a banana. Because of where we are, Bernard Matthews turkey ham is a pretty good substitute for a porky piece of pig.

And then I will sit down in front of the TV and watch the news. The news that 2,000 turkeys at the Bernard Matthews farm in the UK have just died of bird flu.
