NO CHRISTMAS TURKEYS AT WOOLWORTHS

When we tried to buy our Christmas turkey at Woolworths, we found an irritating little sign on the fridge door entitled telling us there will be no Woolies turkeys this year. The sign was headed: "We don't want to disappoint you". Well, Woolworths, you well and truly have disappointed us. We and many of our friends have always re**** on Woolworths for all our Christmas food requirements, turkeys and everything else, but this year you let us down. The sign mentions "lots of delicious alternatives". There is no alternative for turkey at Christmas. Turkey is more than food, it's a Christmas tradition. Surely you know that?

Fortunately, Thrupps were a bit more enterprising. They had a good supply of excellent turkeys. In the end, we did all our Christmas food shopping there and were impressed with the quality and range of food on offer. And the absence of silly excuses.

Come on Woolworths, you can do better than this.
