Miguel Sanchez Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Elsewhere in childish culinary distress: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/268815/mums-fury-at-1-bag-of-tesco-alphabet-potato-shapes-lacking-enough-letters-to-spell-her-sons-name/ Nichola was so furious she posted a complaint on Tesco’s Facebook page along with pictures of the letters spelling out ‘ICGAN’. She wrote: “My son is 4 and learning his letters, I wanted to spell his name, to my shock there wasn’t any Ls or Os but a lot of the repeated letters. “In the end I improvised by using and I as a L a C as a’O so spelled icgan which obviously wasn’t his name.. he noticed this straight away and I had to explain why. Very disappointed.” Nichola bought the 500g bag of Crispy Potato Letters from her local Tesco in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. The mum-of-two, who also has a 14-month-old son Miller, served them up for Logan with chicken nuggets and baked beans. She said: “It is misleading, why would you sell them as alpha-bites, really they should just be called ‘certain letter bites’. “It was just lots of repeated letters, a lot of Y’s and a lot of J’s. I had to improvise, which wasn’t really nice. “When Logan comes home from school he’s always practising his letters. “So I thought I’d buy some alpha bites and then hopefully we could go through it at the dinner table. “I thought that’s what most parents do, make it like a fun-time dinner. “Obviously the person who made these from Tesco can’t have children. “If you buy them you expect all the letters to be there, that’s why I emptied them all out. “Apparently it does say on the packet that not all of the letters are in there, but again I don’t see the point in that.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.s.. Can't believe even the Sun would print this, would be bad enough in a local rag. Edited December 7, 2016 by irvine_buddie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeJay Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Point scoring between OF fans about the paedophile/child abuse scandal on Facebook is at an all time high. After the Gordon Neely story broke Celtic fans were sharing the link and tagging all their Rangers friends, then today Jim McCafferty (ex-Celtic) has been arrested so Rangers fans have gleefully returned to the moral high ground. Just had a Rangers fan who posted “BJK” alongside a big smiley face. He’s been swiftly deleted. Thank f**k I’m not an OF fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly ate Alphabites (Birds Eye, thank you, none of this own brand shite) as a child and was probably able to spell out my (also five lettered but actually a fore-) name about three times. Aside from facebook not being around then and Maw Sanchez not being a slavering lunatic, I think what depresses me the most about this story is that rather than spell out ICGAN this Mummy didn't have the initiative to just break bits off the other letters like I used to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I have an image in my head of her being twenty stone, breathing heavily, cutting the bag open with the biggest knife in the drawer and just emptying them all out onto the draining board. Pawing them around with her fat digits looking for the letters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 That Tillydrone thing is insane. "My son tried to beat up a teenage McDonalds employee because he didn't serve him, and my son's scared of him anyway because he's gay, so here's a picture of the teenager in question, presumably so everybody knows to stay clear of him and his scary gay ways, or maybe even to seek retribution for my Happy Meal starved wee angel." Worth following. Her rants to the local press will be superb when her son gets the jail for kicking someone to death in a few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
