Popular local chicken cafe “Ken Tucker’s Fried Chicken” was yesterday closed down by Health Inspectors after repeated (alleged) cases of food poisonings. Mr Tucker told me to “push off” when I cornered him in the pub last night but not before saying “it’s a ruddy witch hunt, I treat them chickens better than my kids. I rear them in cages in my garage, feed them grub I buy cheap from Poland and then shoot them myself. So they’re well looked after. Then my nephew, who learnt a bit of food hygiene in prison, cooks and freezes them.” If any of you have eaten Ken’s free-range chicken, and had loosened stools or vomiting as a consequence, we’d like to hear your graphic stories. Christine Batley.
