Given the timing of this latest story and despite the very low risk, will it have an effect on sales at this time of year?
It won't put me off, but you know how these things spread....

I was just about to pull you up on you use of 'effect' rather than 'affect', when it occurred to me that I might be wrong...so I won't.

Re: the turkeys scare...me neither. You stand a greater chance of being attacked by a family member at Christmas...especially if you get them the wrong 'Game of Thrones' DVD (how was I supposed to know I was meant to get season 2, not season 1?)

Effect is also a verb Zeuhl
as in "misleading newspaper articles can effect a change in the Christmas menus this year"
Though nothing to do with MRSA in turkeys :(

Sorry for the derailment - I think the same check that we do with chicken should be done with Turkey...thoroughly well cooked and a skewer into the thickest part of leg and breast - if the juices run clear, then you're safe.
