Golden Chicken: Tuesday's food quotation
A couple have celebrated their golden anniversary by eating a tinned chicken given to them on their wedding day. Les Lailey, 73, a former soldier, and his wife, Beryl, of Denton, Greater Manchester, were given the Buxted chicken, part of a hamper, in 1956 but decided to keep what was regarded as a rare treat.
