Turkeys - by Emma Grundy
How do?! Welcome to Eddie Grundy’s World Wide Web (of Turkeys)!
Our Emma is putting together a spankin’ new website, so this is my attempt at a first post (I sound like a bugler, ha ha – do doooo!!)
So... Introducing Grundys’ finest turkeys! A traditional enterprise, carried out by the Grundy family for generations! (at least two (me and me Dad) - and with me grandkids Keira and George taking on some of the feeding, that’ll be four! so I ain't lyin').
The whole family will love a Grundy turkey this Christmas. We use the most natural feeds, just like we have since time immoral. It’s really healthy meat. And vegetarians can enjoy some good stuffing. (look out for some special recipes from me wife, Clarrie-love).
Just like our farm-fresh turkeys, we’re full o’ farm-fresh ideas to help you enjoy the Christmas season. Who could forget our Turkey Pardon and interactive exhibition last year? (we’re all still trying to forget me dad’s American accent, as he got all done up as Uncle Sam (or Joe)!) I’ve got a lovely drawing of a bunch o’ turkeys with their ‘eads chopped off somewhere, done by little George. I’ll upstage it to the website when I get a minnit.
Anyroad, a bit about me: I’m Eddie George Grundy. Some cheeky so and so once described me thus: “he’s got a finger in many pies and a gnome in every garden”. I've made a few connections - like that Alex Jones from the pop group Blur. And it's true to say I'm a real man of the community. I was even instrumental in helpin' save the old village hall when we had a hand from the loverley Anneka Rice back in '93.
Here's a pic of me signed photo - I've kept it for years in the workshop, next to the one of Britt Ekland:

So that's me. Eddie: poultry expert, hard worker, family man and man of the people. Your best bet when you're looking at placing an order for yer Christmas dinner. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
You may have heard of another, rogue outfit in the area - but steer clear. If anyone called Rex or Toby Fairbrother tries to flog you a bird, you tell 'em to sling their hook and let me know. I'll sort you out a treat. Might even throw in a rabbit as a goodwill gesture.
All the best!
Oh, by the way - some documentary people from Brum were asking me a few questions a while back. Here's what they had to say about me. (It takes all sorts)...
