Stores supply turkeys, sprouts and... carp

SHOPS are doing a roaring Christmas trade in carp, trees cut in half, crackers made from old paper and climate-change tree lights.

Retail giant Tesco is selling the unusual Christmas wares to cater for Ireland’s modern lifestyles.

This week the chain has imported carp from eastern Europe to cater for demand from Polish workers, who prefer fish to fowl on their Christmas dinner plate.
