Kevin Cook, 43, loves Bernard Matthews’ Golden Roast Turkey so much, he got excited when he heard they were on special offer at Sainsbury’s Tollgate store.Oh, my…
He cleared room in his freezer for ten of the turkeys and went to the store to stock up on the product, which he says is usually priced at £3.99 in other supermarkets.Yes, but what was it priced at for this offer, Kevin? That's surely the key?
However, when he got to the store, he discovered the offer price was the same £3.99, as the store had previously been charging £7.99 for the product.Whereupon Kevin, it seems, had a ‘Falling Down’ moment…
Angry Mr Cook, of Ashley Road, Dovercourt, decided to protest against the “offer” and went to the store to hand leaflets to other shoppers, but the police were called and he was escorted from the premises by security staff.Oh, the ignominy of it all!
“To me it’s morally wrong – everyone is struggling in the recession and food costs are spiralling.I’m welling up, at this point. An addict!
“Turkey is my favourite food. I have a turkey roast 52 weeks of the year – some weeks I have it twice. I’m a turkey addict.”
I wonder if he's tried going cold turkey?

Is he a breast man or a leg man? I think we need to know.
No need for outrage: I'm talking Turkey here, of course.

I bet this sad git lives down "Gobbler's Gulch" .. ;)
Is there now a no fry zone over Turkey?
When not eating turkey, does he dine on sawdust to get the same dry, flavorless effect?
What a bird brained plan, no wonder it all went horribly wrong.
Julia, did you only post this to use the turkey-addict/cold-turkey joke?
Okay, it was worth it. :-)
Cap'n
For good reason Gobblers Gulch is the colloquial name for Clapham Common.The Common was made famous by the demise of a certain MP who admitted ..
"I went for a walk on Clapham Common. Whilst walking, I was approached by a man I have never met before who engaged me in conversation. After talking for some minutes, he asked me to accompany him and two of his friends to his flat for a meal.
Nothing to do with turkeys but he did get 'goosed'

This man has no morals and no matter where he goes trouble aint very far behind
A year later he was the boy scout who went on This Morning to say Jimmy Savile abused him at the BBC when he was 9, so join the dots
