Perhaps, but sadly this sort of thing is becoming more common. He has already been offered vouchers when really the store was under no obligation to open or to serve him even if it were open. Is this any worse though than the woman who claimed a lifetime supply of free kit kats because one bar had no wafer but was just solid chocolate.
But why do the papers treat their readers as if we are thick- do we really need to be reminded what a pack of mince looks like.

I would have objected a being to to the shop did not open till the animal they spelt wrong did what .should it not have read shop won't open till llama arrives

[Sqad]

I don't shop, but if I did, I would be thoroughly *** off having to wait in my car for an hour. We are not talking "corner shop " here, but an international concern.
I doubt wether I would sue the company, but certainly make my feelings known to management.

[fiction-factory]

haha- took me a bit to work that out though weecalf

[fiction-factory]

Usually other shops are available though. sqad. Yes, it's worth a complaint and they offered vouchers but I cannot believe he will win a legal case

A "loss of meat" is not altogether uncommon in the over 60s.

Anyway, nice wee ad for the estate agency and a timely warning to avoid the comic that is The Mirror.

Is this the most pathetic man in Britain



I thought this was going to be another Tommy Robinson thread ... My mince steak.

[Sqad]

^^^^^ LOL......" My minced steak"...........most got it...LOL

[murraymints]

take the *** mince home in yer car and come back man..grief..

[Old_Geezer]

Surely his beef is not that it was spoilt but that he was incited out to shop at a time which was unsuitable due to erroneous information, thus being put to inconvenience. The shop should be rapped over the knuckles for that. However the meat spoiling thing has become too big an issue. It was his choice not to go home and shop later, or elsewhere. Although I can understand the annoyance and determination to shop where he had made up his mind to shop, and on the journey he was enticed to make.

[Old_Geezer]

Why has same mysterious spell "check" changed "enticed" to "incited" ?

[jim360]

Well he may be pathetic but you've got to admire a man who definitely doesn't mince his words.

[aelmpvw]

if he'd had the foresight to carry a primus stove in his boot he could have cooked his dinner while he was waiting for lidl to open

[Old_Geezer]

Why has some mysterious spell "check" changed "some" to "same" ?

Why do we still not have an editing facility ? (Barring the nonsense arguments.)

[fiction-factory]

I wonder if the nearby Tesco Metro was open at 10 a.m.

[Tilly2]

He should have taken a cool bag with him, on one of the hottest days of the year.

[Tilly2]

I do think he's pathetic. Most of us would have just gone home. Nobody in their right mind sits in a hot car for an hour just for the bloody-mindedness of it.

Should meat that was truly fresh from the butcher go off in 1 hour?

[Old_Geezer]

It's from Lidl bhg ? And a sunny day.
