Their loss in income. There are many other places to buy turkeys. I don't condone the workers hurting or torturing the turkeys, but people will find a way to eat them this Christmas one way or another.

That's why they are so tender?

I agree on the not condoning animal torture, aaaaaaaaaaand ... Woolworths aren't the only supplier of Turkeys ... My butcher does what he calls a "Five in One" ... a deboned quail, stuffed into a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, stuffed into a deboned guineafowl stuffed into a deboned turkey, (with the Turkey leg and wing bones left in for shape), and ... one is already in my freezer awaiting a pork sausage, pecan nut, sage and onion stuffing

I can't help wondering why we have TWO PowerStation's in Pretoria held off-line ... Pretoria West and Rooiwal ...
For the past 6+ years, they have their boilers and generators fired up once a month to ensure they are still functional, (which they are!), and then shut down again .... hmmmmm

Solidarity wants wholesale and retail prices of petrol and diesel to be deregulated, allowing sellers to determine prices.

South Africa currently regulates both the wholesale and retail prices of petrol, while the government also sets the wholesale diesel price.

The retail price of diesel is the only deregulated item.

This allows forecourts to set their own diesel prices and encourages cost-cutting in other areas to try and win customers over with the best price.

Solidarity said that deregulation of the retail diesel price resulted in immediate significant price drops in prices and explained that diesel remained considerably cheaper than petrol as a result.

"pay anywhere from R280 to R800 per month ..... at Stage 4 load-shedding."
I paid close to R1000 in fuel for the two weeks we had load shedding

Yeah, our times changed as well. It's like the adjust the schedules every few weeks to stop us from getting complacent

16h00 to 18h30. I'm glad I had a cold meal planned.

So Mimmo's Senderwood for Italian this evening it is, (for my family anyway) ... they thankfully have a wood fired oven

This is one 'interesting' way of stimulating the economy, load shedding to get people to eat out and spend money, then again, these govern-mental nanas barely make the IQ of a gnat collectively
