With regard to the bogman chicken (although it made me think of a victim in CSI on C5) wasn't me, honest. Cath dun it, honest. Knew nothing about it until it was rescued from the oven and the aroma (pong) was hard to ignore. We've an oil fired cooker so the crematorium smell went up the flue and the wind must've been blowing the wrong way.
Noel, hoping that the pilot of the next plane that gets lost has a decent map with him....
