Does anyone find themselves feeling slightly jealous of people like that that the have the time and energy to get so worked up about something so minor? They must have very easy lives!

Orders get delayed. Hardly newsworthy!

"Kim was told that the error had been caused by her putting the email in wrong, however she insists she double checked everything when submitting the order."

A couple of years ago I ordered some furniture, to be delivered just before Christmas. Christmas Eve they still hadn't arrived and I needed them for visitors to sit on! I shrieked at the supplier and the things turned up mid-afternoon. It must have been no more than an hour or two later the announcement came on the news that the courier company had gone bust.

SO PERISH ALL WHO OPPOSE ME.

This is Nuneaton. I grew up near there. Sad face is everywhere around there. Because Nuneaton.

Clandestino · 25/11/2016 14:46

This wasn't even funny, this was absolutely embarrassing. I wonder how come the parents of the boy allowed this as he's just become a laughing stock of so many people.
Definitely not 5.
Definitely not sad or heartbroken or whatever.
Definitely a total non-story, silly Grandma messed up and then created a scandal out of nothing.

JayDot500 · 25/11/2016 14:47

Brilliant Grin

NannyR · 25/11/2016 14:49

That is hilarious - I can't believe they got such a long news article out of it!

TheresAGhostYouFools · 25/11/2016 14:50

The photographer who took those pics must have been pissing themselves laughing.

"More sad face.....no, no.......sadder than that.......can you stick your bottom lip out at all?......now, rest your chin on your hands like the weight of all the disappointment renders you incapable of supporting your own heads......that's it, lovely.....now gaze mournfully at the sky, as if you are imploring the heavens to help you.......that's it, perfect!!!"

If this was genuinely published as a serious piece of news and not a pisstake the Coventry Telegraph should be shut down...

Merrylegs · 25/11/2016 14:54

That is a beautiful story.

The best bit is that it was filed - and then updated. like it was a story WORTH COMING BACK TO.

Good spot, op.

If nothing else, it's surely proof there is no god.
