To be horrified by the Card Factory

Browsing and came across this card. For those who can't see it - it's one of those 'old photo with a (supposedly) witty caption' 2 men are pictured standing by a fence with a caption that reads "Having popped out for a fag, Nigel was delighted when one turned up immediately."

Absolutely disgusted by this I called the Card Factory's head office straight away (I demanded the number in the shop), only to be informed "Head office only deal with complaints made in writing - there's nothing I can do for you now!"

AIBU to assume the good-readers of Mumsnet can help them address their misguided, revolting homophobic humour TODAY without waiting for letters to arrive? Wink

Meggy- why not start your own thread. The bag charge is about how many people the company employs as a whole isn't it? Card factory will have to charge.

Get over it.
It was 5p which they have to charge.
Only person missing out is you.
What a drama.

I don't see it as homophobic.

I asked my gay friend if he wanted to pop out for a sneaky fag and he said "it's ok, I've brought one with me" pointing to his partnerGrin

We laughed for ages. I think it's one of those circumstances when the context plays the main part.

Oh god sorry- wrong threadGrin

Oh wait?? Is it? Just seen a post about a 5p bag charge and got totally confused.

Bloody hell just completely ignore me: I am in posession of Prosecco.

See that's what happens when people post on zombie threads and not start their own on their own bloody subject.
It's total chaos.
