At Christmas time the average person will consume ten times their own body weight in nuts,tangerines,dates and chocolate.
The average family will produce 47 tonnes of waste, empty bottles, nutshells, wrapping paper..which if they don't tip their bin-men will eventually spill into their neighbours back yard.
The largest Christmas Turkey ever recorded, was a 46 stone monster, over 10 feet tall, served up at the Lord Mayor's Christmas Dinner at Arbroath Town Hall in 1926.
When the oven door was opened after 16 hours cooking, to put the potatoes in, the giant beast came alive, leapt out of the oven and killed two kitchen staff. The badly scorched bird was eventually wrestled back into the roasting tin by members of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Pipe Band, who had been playing nearby. The bird took six weeks to cook, and to this day cold Turkey sandwiches carved from the beasts huge carcass are served every lunchtime in the Lord Mayors Chamber.
