has popped his cloggs

Norfolk turkey tycoon Bernard Matthews has died at the age of 80, his company has confirmed.

He began his business more than 60 years ago - with 20 eggs and a second-hand incubator.

Mr Matthews, famous for his "bootiful" catchphrase, stepped down from the company's main board of directors in January on his 80th birthday.

The company had suffered some difficult years recently which had included jobs cuts and an outbreak of bird flu.

Just before Christmas as well, oh the irony.
Will he be cremated in a tinfoil tray?

Just read he is to be cremated next Wednesday. Gas mark 4 for 13 1/2 hours.<br /><br />-- Fri Nov 26, 2010 11:34 am --<br /><br />Although it wasn't expected the coroner has ruled out fowl play.

Hope they baste him properly,after removing his giblets and parson's nose.
