I actually feel heart sorry for poor little Max, Mama Roz and Nanny Bean have humiliated the poor wee guy. I can imagine every person who has come into contact with this family in the last week has been trying desperately to stifle the giggles. Silly nanny Bean and mama Roz.

Honest to God what was she on?

How has she survived to her 30s if she doesnt understand how shops work?

How could they do this to a woman in her 30s, Mackerel?

Shameful.

A WOMAN was today left outraged when her local store refused to sell her a pint of milk.

MackerelOfFact, 30ish, from London visited her local Sainsbury's store at around 12.25 on Tuesday.

Upon reaching the dairy aisle, she found the shelf where the one-pint bottles of skimmed milk are usually displayed empty.

"I was dismayed," said Ms Fact. "I had gone into Sainsbury's specifically to purchase a pint of skimmed milk and there was none."

Upon making the grim discovery, Ms Fact asked a member of staff if she would be able to have a larger bottle at the same price as the small bottle.

"I thought it would be reasonable of them to offer me the larger bottle at a discount considering this was their error and not mine," she said.

However the member of staff suggested that the customer bought a different kind of milk - perhaps semi-skimmed or UHT - or paid extra for a larger bottle.

Speaking about her ordeal, Mackerel said: "I am in my thirties and I like skimmed milk in my tea.

"I don't like getting big bottles because nobody else in the house drinks skimmed milk so it goes lumpy and gross in the fridge."

"I can only imagine how much extra profit they must be making if they do this to all their customers," said Ms Fact.

"I had to go home and have a cup of green tea instead, which was disgusting. I certainly won't be shopping there again."

Sainsbury's have declined to comment.

OOOh can I go to the papers too?

Went to my local Cafe Nero for my usual latte and almond croissant. Horrors! NO almond croissants! I had to wait 10 whole minutes for the next batch to come out the oven.....what kind of f'ing service is that? I mean waiting for hot almond croissants straight out the oven, what an inconvenience....oh wait... Blush er, as you were...

I have an Asda tale on a par with that and I didn't get to do a sad face!

Dh ordered me a gift. Friday afternoon he got the 'ready to collect' email. Off we went to Asda. Got there at half 4. Staff say 'no, wont be ready until after 5'. Have a wander, return at 5.15. 'nope, but we'll text you when it's in'.
Just walked through the door at home and get text.... Grin

Website says click and collect available until 10pm, so return that evening as we're passing at 8.30. Desk is shut as C&C closes at 8. Manager refuses to believe website says otherwise until we show him. He spends half an hour trying to find order and can't.
Manager says he'll put order on a delivery van and drop it off next morning.

2pm next day, no order. Head for Asda yet again. This time order number is not recognised. Nobody has a clue. Nice man searches C&C stock. Not there. After a further half hour it's located, in the returns pile.

Nice man gives me my order and £5 gift card without the aid of sad face.
No local newspapers involved in the drama.

Presumably she's called Nanny Bean because her son is Mr Bean?

It's all starting to make sense Grin

Imagine they printed thier pictures onto christmas jumpers and sold them in asda? I would certainly buy one.
The boy looks desperate to laugh its hillarious.
On a serious note though, this shows the ignorance and self righteousness of some people, i bet some poor woman in a poverty stricken country had to help make these cheap jumpers for very little money in return. Put it into perspective woman

I reckon the gran will be a contestant on the next Celebrity Big Brother.

She's had the fame, she's had the backlash, and now she needs to be rehabilitated in front of the public.

I personally am looking forward to following her jumper journey.

Can someone please set up a donation page for Nanny Bean and the sadface boy to try and erase the memory of these nasty trolls and the deeply traumatic jumper experience?

But the family have been subjected to criticism online after telling the Telegraph of their ordeal.

Their ordel?
Did they get held hostage? Have a building collapse on them? Get stuck down a mine with no food or water? Get lost in the wilds of Nuneaton with only the local yokels to keep them company?

No....

There was a slight delay collecting a jumper.....
