Consultation with patients. (Halal food served unlabelled)


Recommended Posts

Did you call me Love. I might change my mind about the drink. As for the old religions. would you mind if if they put virgins blood in your food. without you knowing. Or burn a wicker man, and spread his ashes over the crops. No you,d like to know. Paganism is a recognised religion now so it could happen. Tarot reading is not a religion.

Its you and Hugenut who are being vituperative..

I'm confused now. Are you a pagan or not?


And again I challenge you to reread the thread. I haven't been vutperative. Well not until you revealed yourself anyway


And you still haven't answered any of the questions I have asked. You deflect by introducing ever-more-vivid possible scenarios but don't answer any questions


So. Should the hospitals in the ceefax story stop selling halal meat, but carry on serving battery chickens unlabeled? And how is that different? And what's vituperative about asking that question?

Well quite Anna, but given that's the point I've been making from the get go I doubt it will help tarot


But halal is still not a great method anyway. Apart from anything else draining blood from larger animals makes it taste like cardboard. But to call it barbaric and primitive when we in the uk make most of our chickens live in their own shit doesn't give us much of a moral high ground. But as I say I suspect tarots problem is not with animal cruelty in the first place

I think 'proper mentalist' is the only description one can give an opinion that draws an equivalence between humane slaughter and drinking virgin's blood.


As I said, halal butchery is legal and your dietary requirements are your own responsibility.


However, virgin's blood and wicker men don't qualify as 'valid debate', just silly nonsense from a person sustaining some of the most ridiculous opinions I've heard in a long time. If I talk down to you it's because you spend so much time in the gutter.

Hugenut, you should read most of your threads,I have never read such pompous twaddle.You talk down to people because you think you are superior . If its not here its on Facebook. You can be very bitchy and self important. When are you going back to Singapore?.
Sean Im not a pagan. Im pixie. and when a full moon comes up I go to the woods to see the great Gnome. A group of us dance round a mushroom, then urinate allover it saying a few words of great wisdom. Then we have the mushrooms taken to the hospital where you can all eat them.

Well done guys this bickerthon just gets better and better. Though to be fair, Tarrot does have a point about superiority complexes however I'm confused as to the OP, is it about animal welfare, something more sinister or, worse, questionable NHS catering? ;-)


Makes me wonder what else the NHS caterers don't tell us about their food; well we didn't have chicken so we instead we used rat/squirrel/pigeon, O and by the way we only buy meat from animals that have been bled as opposed to stunned to death...now let's face it neither option is kind. If people are really that bothered they would not eat or wear animal products (Lady Gaga tsk tsk).

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
