Oh course a cynical person might think that the paper are running a story like this knowing that it will get picked up by sites like MN and other things the highlight stupid people in local papers and therefore increase the traffic to their newspaper and therefore advertising revenue.

This is also on the Angry People page. Had me in tears of laughter reading the comments.

Do Prestatyn have a flag? I'd like to change my fb profile to their colours in support

:p

Barrygrant is a true legend!

[listsandbudgets]

I used to live in Coventry. I seem to recall a front page headline some years ago informing the world that " woman fins 3 double yoked eggs in one box of eggs".

this wonderful story tops that though

You've got to love the local press .

Why on earth did they see fit to phone the paper about this in the first place though? Did they want their Asda Christmas shop for free or something?

[LoisWilkersonsLastNerve]

Arf at BarryGrant. 😁

[UnbornMortificado]

Oh my days.

My sister works in Asda on customer services. I just couldn't keep a straight face at shit like this

I've heard worse stories. Some blokey once wanted a refund on some BBQ meat pack. Because it had rained. He didn't have it with him as he had eaten it

Fucking nutters.

I read this and found it hard to believe it was real!

[ijustwannadance]

This has made my day. Especially Barrygrant.

Why would the kid be devastated about a jumper he asked for for his birthday arriving before his birthday. Why the fuck did they even need to tell said 5 year old who would've been none the wiser and still recieved jumper for his birthday?

The only thing I do actually believe is that the child is 5. Only because my 5yo looks 7.

i'm guessing Nanny Roz wants a free gift card....

[Kidnapped]

"Kim Harrison, from Bedworth , helped her mother Roz order the two festive jumpers online".

Sounds to me like the gran Roz isn't great at technology (she needed help to order 2 jumpers online), cocked it up, and so it was actually all her own fault to start with.

The word fuckwits has never had such a clear meaning. What sort of charmed life must they lead that this has upset them so much?! It wouldn't even register in the quagmire of annoying shite I have to deal with.

[Rainydayspending]

I live roughly in the area (against my better judgement so yes i am biased against it). Trust me a whole lot of nothing happens and a lot of people get outraged over sweet FA. So I guess this is news here.

[Aeroflotgirl]

Omg they almost look like they are gurning😂😂😂😂. Their Christmas jumpers were late, and we're still in Nov. If you are so desparate for them, if you saw it in store buy them, then get a refund when your parcel comes.

[OhBlissOhJoy]

I ordered a couple of pillows from Asda online and didn't get any confirmation. They are due for delivery to the store between 1 and 4 today. Should I be worried? Should I start practising my sad face?

[MudCity]

After a miserable few weeks, this article, and especially the comments below it, has cheered me up no end! Brilliant.

Bit disappointed in Asda for making a goodwill gesture though...

[LoisWilkersonsLastNerve]

Why is his face still tripping him when HE'S WEARING THE CHRISTMAS JUMPER!?

[GrumpyMcGrumpFace]

I love the way the lad can't even look sad in the picture on his own. This is such a wind up! Not sure who's being wound up though...

[OlennasWimple]

Will no-one think of the children (and the 61 year olds)?

Brilliant, OP, thanks for the laugh!

[Catsize]

Is it 1st April?

[UnbornMortificado]

I can't believe they got some sort of freebie from it

[arrrrghhwinehelpswithteens]

Frantically trying to work out what I could claim for. Oooo, I know - Curry's didn't have the purple laptop mum wanted so she had to have the blue one instead. So we have a distraught 69-yr o!d and frustrated 47-yr old who had to look at a blue one when setting it up instead of purple. I wonder what we can get for that???

So. Bloody. Daft!!!!

[popcornpaws]

I deal with many similar bawbags on a daily basis looking for something for nothing to "compensate" them for a drama they have created themselves!
