Love it
And the / is probably from missing the shift key for a (missplaced) capital. Do it all the time

loved this post, really made me smile. maybe it should be giraffe bread....inthenightkitchen,tiger bread originated in holland (me being a baker), the stuff put on the loaf is called 'pap' in holland, and makes the crust crackly and patterned. Now you have tiger bread! Well done to Chris as well. Thanks for sharing....made my night!

I bet there is no such person as Lily. Its a viral Sainsbury's ad campaign and you've all fallen for it.

NonnoMum · 17/06/2011 23:27

Yup- I'm with you beaver

JarethTheGoblinKing · 17/06/2011 23:35

Ah, I thought you were been serious Jareth rather than cynical. Smile

How lovely! And doesn't it make a nice change to report good customer service?

Just an aside, these things stay in the mind for a long time. When I worked in a BMW dealership I had a customer come in to buy a brand new car, a young Black working class man who had done well . He told me why he preferred BM's.

When he was a kid growing up in a poor area of South London he was car-mad and always dreamed of owning a BMW one day. He used to visit dealerships regularly, just to drool over the cars. Our dealership was the only one who didn't tell him to sod off and not to breathe on their precious cars. Instead the staff welcomed him and chatted away to him, listening to his 8 or 9 year old hopes and dreams.

He never forgot and when he grew up he made our dealership the only one he'd do business with.

TheDogsAintTheProblem that's a lovely story. Oh and it's not made up, the originator of the tweet is Lily's mum's friend.

My sister once wrote to Bassetts (I think), aged eight, to ask why her jelly baby had arrived in the packet minus a head.* They wrote back to her explaining how jelly babies can get deformed in the manufacturing process and included vouchers for ten bags of jelly babies. I was ten and very Envy

*Mum put her up to it after being driven mad by jelly baby-related questions Grin
