Will Butchers open on Christmas Eve?

[Scam]

Argh I know, sorry for the Christmas thread but the girlfriend and I are looking at going away to our respective parents the weekend before, and having a proper Christmas to ourselves. Problem being er, when do we get our turkey/beef/food

Can't get to our local butchers to ask this weekend, but do you think they will open Christmas Eve (Mon) to pickup pre-ordered meats?

I've never done it before, but is it a case of just going in and saying 'I want a 3kilo turkey and a 2kilo rib of beef and I'll pick it up Christmas Eve?'

If I was a butcher I would make it my mission to be open on Christmas eve.

If I was a butcher I'd open Thurs-Sun. I always wonder what they do midweek when everyones at work. Not much?

Yeah my girlfriend is panicking about ordering train tickets to go home. Not having a car sucks. If you're not organised 3 months ahead of when you want to go it'll cost a fortune

I'm just posting on here to make it look like in doing something to help

Not a bad plan. So how about online places like Westin etc.? Anyone put their faith in them for the Christmas dinner? Or I see that you can order from M&S and Waitrose etc..
