Your old mate hears the Poms are in trouble again over the quality of meat going into their burgers.

Media reports from the UK say some supermarkets have admitted there is horsemeat in their ‘home cooked burgers’. Even places like Burger King have had to admit to “small amounts” of horsemeat in their burgers. Tesco, the giant UK supermarket chain, is in the spotlight.

• Not entirely sure how Tesco are going to get over this hurdle.

• These Tesco burger jokes are going on a bit: talk about flogging a dead horse.
