Thats a whole lot of sausage

a 7ft porker who could feed a First Division football crowd with chipolata sausages.
The lumbering pet, who stands 4ft tall, weighs in at half a ton thanks to his whopping daily diet of pig meal and chocolate eclairs.
And workers at the animal rescue centre where he lives say he is still growing.
Attitude, a neutered white pig, piled on the pounds after his previous owners handed him into the centre nine years ago.
Now experts reckon he could produce an amazing 15,000 chipolatas if sent to slaughter.
Mike Taylor, who runs the Mistley Place Park centre in Manningtree, Essex, said:
“Attitude eats an enormous amount. As well as 10lb of meal, he’ll get through a dozen loaves of bread and 15 cakes on a good day.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the biggest living pig in the country. I know he’s well over half a ton. But although he’s not dangerous, I’m not going to put myself in jeopardy by chasing him with a set of scales.”
Nigel Rowe, a former chairman of the National Farmers’ Union’s regional committee for pigs, said:
“He’s certainly a fair old size — pretty near the biggest pig I’ve ever known.”
Sorry folks, yes I am bored and yes I have lots of silly stories at my fingertips today
