any lamb that is on offer as you say will not be uk lamb,we don't eat lamb at this time of year it will be older lamb.and have a ram taste to it,as we don't like that we don't but it.

I think older lamb is lovely, either Hoggit or Mutton but unless I order a half/whole lamb from the farm shop, it is very difficult to get hold of.
At this time of year there is no room in the freezer for that  ::)  :lol:

I nworked on a sheep farm for 13yrs,may be thats why i hate the smell and the sight of sheep and lamb :lol:,
But when you do get a nice piece of lamb there is nothing better.

Not meat-specific, but Waitrose have been handing out 20% off vouchers like nobody's business recently!

Eight quid for every forty notes isn't a deal to be sneezed at, especially as a turkey crown is £26.00 and we still need another bottle of Scotch...

I'm afraid Tesco shot their bolt this year, asking for a spend of £60.00 each week, which is impossible for just two of us!

Mind you, I got a huge hug from two of the girls in Tesco today, and will be coming down from the ceiling in an hour or two..;0)

(Yeah, yeah, Mrs Growster was with me so don't panic..;0)
