Now now folks, let's not go there please!!


Yes, in hindsight I should have provided my own labels for the butcher to put on, but he's an hour away and I would have had to make a special trip.


I think overbagging might well be the answer. There's a catering supplies place just round the corner from my office, so I'll pop in there and ask if they have different colours of bag available. Thanks folks!

Stop press! I collected everything this morning. Because it had all been frozen at low humidity, and because it's still below freezing here today, we were able to open the mutton boxes and write "mutton" on all the labels with a sharpie. Nice and simple, and hopefully foolproof!!

It's such a relief to have everything 'safely gathered in', so I can now get it out to people before Christmas and I certainly won't be leaving it this late again.

Thanks for your help everybody!

Tell your butcher it's no use and get him to find a solution

You don’t rear livestock, do you Annie  

And that matters - why?

Experience

A trifle condescending - unexpected from you. And not indeed the facts of the case anyway.  Admitted;y a number of years ago, and we had an excellent butcher who did as we asked.
