They even look tasty!
Lovely dappled scales and all that.

I forgot to take a photo, but was pleased with a sign outside the only independent butcher left in town "Meat Shortage Due! Please Panic Buy!"

Made me grin widely. 'Cept I won't buy from them after that butcher was very rude to me the other year.

Explanation if needed:
(Not of his rudeness, of the sign) Panic buying ensued at petrol pumps after tanker drivers threatened a strike. Like a run on a bank, the panic was fuelled [sic] by word of mouth, irresponsible media coverage and a laughable Govt response which advised people to buy and store fuel (?!) in jerry cans. Which is illegal and can be highly dangerous.

So you won't let rude guys give you any meat. Good to know.

Well, I won't pay for it anyway. I'd have taken a pound of sausage if he'd slipped it to me gratis.
