AIBU to ask you all to boycott Muller products

My DH was driving on the M6 today with DCs (10,8,7) his lane became closed so he indicated and moved over in front of a Muller light truck. When the traffic began to move again said truck hit the back of him and pushed him 200m down the road, making my DCs have hysterics and all of them feeling extremely distressed. He has reported the truck to the police, DD took the number plate. My DCs are now asleep but very upset by the whole incident and I now wish to ask you all to boycott their products, even if only for a week. We will be emailing the company in the morning, there is only a few scratches to my car but it could have been far worse and DH says he is sure the driver knew there were DCs in the car. DH is [hangry]

Indie, what expenses will need to be covered. Those of ridding the thread of the stench of bullshit.
I re read the OP, I was on the M6 yesterday I didn't see any Muller lorries, light or otherwise.
Come back OP you make me laugh.

SpringHeeledJack · 31/10/2011 15:48

yes, OP, I am all about informed choices when choosing yogurt and will be joining you in your boycott. I think we all need to spend a bit of time looking at the bigger yogurt picture, and not buying something "because it has coco pops in"

Hmm

frinstance- I buy only Total Greek yogurt as I am concerned about the dire financial state Greece finds herself in. Also I have never, ever met a Greek I didn't like. Also it is fucking yum, but that's by the by.

Too funny - galaxyweaver - were you the kid with the snot nose who was always pestering the teacher with tale telling? I bet you were!

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 31/10/2011 15:53

I know who she is now Menopausal. DD pointed her out the last time I was at her school. She's had time to get back too.
Galaxy, don't forget it's bike day tomorrow although you have probably already reported my DD for riding around the playground without her helmet.

MenopausalHaze · 31/10/2011 15:55

what? No helmet? Surely this calls for......................a boycott!!

If Pag is taking the piss it has to be a wind up. Pag never takes the piss, she is too nice. And sensible. If When I Grow Up I want to be Pag.

A modicum of plausibility would be useful. Otherwise they are so disappointing.

wentmad · 31/10/2011 16:28

Despite the lack of damage, despite lack of injury what confuses me most is this 'accident' only involved 2 vehicles. Didn't we get told there was a traffic jam? Maybe the lorry saw a 200m gap so decided to start moving without realising the dip shit that was infront hadn't moved?

But more than all the points raised so far............how the fuck do you get up to 20mph without touching the accelerator??? Jeremy clarkson wants to know too!!!

BlathersFright · 31/10/2011 16:37

I assumed that the lorry was pushing the car at 20mph - while causing no damage to the car of course [hconfused]

Do you think?
No....
But perhaps?

Nah forget it.....Silly idea...

Its just....

you dont think this is someone thinking 'those silly bints over at MNs are always up for stupid campaigns, bet we can get them to start a new one'.......

Do you?

Cos all that stuff MNs does against rape, respite for families of disabled children etc is a bit of a larf innit Hmm

Laquitar · 31/10/2011 16:40

Thing is someone making up a story like this could be 'slander/libel' couldn't it? clearly I have no legal knowledge!.

Mindyou if Muller read this they may give MNers a muller BOGOF code seens as it's clear we all love them. [hgrin]

creepypantsandzombierags · 31/10/2011 16:44

I am absolutely up for a boycott of the M6 because I have to drive up it to visit PIL

A boycott of muller however, would be completely rediculous.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 31/10/2011 16:44

You can all relax, helmetless DD was on school property. She isn't allowed anywhere without it.
She would probably be OK if she fell off. She eats lots of yoghurt, not always Muller but that is favourite so her bones will be lovely and strong.

They're fast those imaginary police. Probably because they only have the one case to deal with.

Am I the only person wondering why pick on Muller? Seems so random

This made me spit coffee over the laptop. It's the second funniest thing I've come across today. Sadly the the other thing involves my adorable daughter crapping on the floor.........
