| British Turkey Truck Blown Up by Taliban Posted: 20 Dec 2008 07:48 AM CST
Despite all the birds being completely destroyed, Christmas dinner will still go ahead after replacement turkeys were flown out by the Ministry of Defence. Regimental Catering Warrant Officer Nick Townley, who is in charge of organising Christmas dinner for British troops in Afghanistan, said: “Unfortunately one of our Christmas wagons got taken out so a lot of turkeys had to be flown in especially.” Commander Paula Rowe, spokewoman for Task Force Helmand, said: “Christmas Day will be business as usual for most of us - operations will be ongoing and we will continue to build on the progress that has been made so far in providing better security for the Afghan people - but never underestimate the ingenuity of the men and women to at least have a little bit of festive cheer, wherever they are! “The chefs work non-stop to provide the best they can for everyone and often create a lot from very little - their efforts often go unnoticed and unrecognised, but their contribution is essential to the morale and wellbeing of us all. “However we spend the day, our thoughts will inevitably turn to our colleagues who have been killed or injured and their families and loved ones for whom this Christmas will be very different.” Related Posts |

The other thoroughbred worth supporting appears in the evening at Wolverhampton where Mister Thatcher (7.20) can follow up Wednesday's impressive victory at Lingfield. Related Posts |
| Carol Singers Receive Early Christmas Present From Seven-Year Old Boy Posted: 19 Dec 2008 10:29 AM CST
A group of carol singers are £120 better off today after a seven-year-old boy tipped them for singing ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’. Mr Davis said: ‘Apparently there were three teenage lads at the door singing ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ at the door and he went to find some money. ‘I’d left the £120 on the kitchen table top pay for a child minder and he must have just picked it up and given it to them. ‘I’m hoping they realise £120 is a bit much for singing one song and come and give it back.
