Fantastic!

We had a turkey so big one Christmas, Mum couldn't lift it into or out of the oven - she had to get Dad to help her. She won it in a raffle just before Christmas, when we already had our normal sized turkey in the freezer. Talk about looking a gift bird in the mouth - she whinged and whinged about how big that turkey was ("Who did they expect to win it, the old woman who lived in a shoe?")

It squatted in the middle of the roasting tin with all four limbs over the sides and Dad had to rush down the Spar to get another tray for the potatoes.

However it didn't jump out of the window or the oven as I recall.
