• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

More importantly, Dar, what gender are the crisps? I imagine the chickens would have identified as female.
 
Whenever there's an advert involving fried chicken, there's always some kind of uproar about the ethnicities of the actors involved.

Personally I genuinely never notice.

You know Legoman, I sadly know which breed of chicken and the producer that supplies KFC in the UK (the bone-in stuff) most of the boneless is frozen and imported. I can also tell you they are roughly 50:50 female to male. Eggs of course are another matter.

Prof, it's not the best chicken is it?

Unless you are buying premium chicken (Free Range Organic), then it's the same supplier, same conditions, same birds (Ross 308) etc as for Asda, Tesco, Aldi etc. Waitrose, M & S and Morrisons use a different supplier who have, in my view, better standards-but even that's marginal.

KFC and McDonald's in the UK have welfare standards that are higher than most of the supermarkets. Not the case in the US, I would add.


I eat it. Not often, but my son loves it.
 
Prof, that is interesting.
I bought 2 chicken fillets in a pack from co-op last week, it was a bit more expensive than Sainsbury's but far plumper and nicer and probably less watery when in its raw state.

No idea who supplies co-op at the moment-but they usually have higher standards. Sainsbury's use a mix-more than the other supermarkets.

About 90% of UK chicken comes from only four suppliers and two of those are owned by the same person.
