Olympic quality sadfacing. It's only a matter of time before the Mail signs the kid up.

OUTRAGE

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 25/11/2016 15:12

The non story to end all non stories. I'm actually OUTRAGED at its mere existence!

TheFairyCaravan · 25/11/2016 15:20

The paper should have told them to fuck off when they went bleating. People are freezing cold and starving hungry in this country and their biggest problem is not being able to pick up a Christmas jumper when they wanted to. Perhaps they could ask Santa for a grip?

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 25/11/2016 15:22

I agree fairy. It's ridiculous.

Seekeveryknownhidingplace ,must be the season for mucking people's toasties about. Yesterday I ordered a cheese and tomato toastie, imagine my shock and distraught reaction when I realised as I got to the last bit that I had been served a cheese and onion toastie in error. I was clearly too upset to complain at the time, and for some reason there was not a photographer close by to record my sadness, but I think this will give you a small idea of the trauma I went through. Sad.

it was Tesco btw, name and shame, name and shame.

This was on a FB group, and had the best comment ever, so stealing it to share here:

That woman is what would happen if Gary Oldman's and Kathy Burke's respective characters from Tinker Tailor Solider Spy had bred.

It must have been a verrrrrry slow day in the news.

This isn't news - it's life!

Ahh delightful Nuneaton. That picture that does the rounds of the black car parked inside the trolley shelter is from the same Asda.

The jumpers were ordered for his birthday, at the end it says due to distress lol he had them before his birthday.... so what was the problem they could have still turned up in time.

Toddlerteaplease · 25/11/2016 16:02

Like a PP costa have ruined my Christmas. Went to Costa in my hospital before my night shift and orderd a honeycomb latte. And they had run out of honeycomb. AngryAngryI was so upset At having to have my usual, large 1 shot Skinny latte instead that I nearly had to go home. And the poorly children would have suffered. Without me to look after them. WinkHmm

Ladymoth · 25/11/2016 16:04

Did anyone else get an actual video advert for Asda Christmas jumpers halfway down the sadface article page!?

:o

tulippa · 25/11/2016 16:10

Can't be much going on in Nuneaton if this is news!!

ShowMePotatoSalad · 25/11/2016 16:12

Cockacidal thanks for posting the link to that blog. It's fantastic!

GinAndTunic · 25/11/2016 16:15

I feel your pain, Seek. Just last week a cafe ran out of broccoli-Stilton soup before I was able to order any. I had to eat a sandwich, instead.

Spudlet · 25/11/2016 16:17

There's not much going on, believe me. An asteroid strike would count as gentrification...

#prayforNuneton2
I am DISTRAUGHT and think that Christmas jumper day should be cancelled in support- CANCELLED I say!!

Glastonbury · 25/11/2016 16:31

I was just coming on to post this after seeing it on facebook. The faces are hilarious.

ChocolateBudgeCake · 25/11/2016 16:36

She got them later that day 😂

Oh the terrible inconvenience !

I love that this happened before the boys birthday so even though the jumpers finally turned up , they were still in plenty of time for the actual event!!
