Mum complains that alphabet letters won't spell sons name

[Soubriquet]

Really? Do we complain about everything now?

Is this really news?

I would probably do that Ifart

But we don't eat any alphabetty here.

I don't like them so never bought them.

Might have to one day just to do that

I think someone should introduce her to the man who is suing Oxford because he didn't get a First.
They'd make a lovely couple.

Why doesn't she change her son's name to Icgan? He'll be able to spell his name, with the added bonus of a name that's individual

It's just a stealth bast isn't it, that "he noticed immediately" that it wasn't spelled right

If I was Tesco I would apologize and then send her 50 packets containing only L and O.

Can you still get alphabites? I want some! My absolutely best best special treat when I was little (and staying with my dad) was alphabites, fish fingers and beans. I might get some for one day over the Christmas holidays.

Why didn't she just change her child's name to Icgan?

I used to love alphabites. They somehow tasted better than regular chips.

I would have thought the obvious thing to do would be to cut a bit off a Q for O and either use a backwards J or an upside-down T with a piece cut off as an L.

I never liked them

But I don't like mash potato

It's the texture

Haha. Can't believe that is news! First world problem...

This is absurd!

I couldn't even read the fails item about it, the woman has obviously got far too much time on her hands and through she could get free alphabet frozen letters from Tesco.

Stupid cow

And yes it appears we do complain about everything...

'I would have thought the obvious thing to do would be to cut a bit off a Q for O and either use a backwards J or an upside-down T with a piece cut off as an L.'

There you are you see, if she had only had the sense to post on Mumsnet...

My kids are having these for their tea tonight. I don't bother trying to spell their name I just whack em in the oven. They're not bothered.

Poor little Icgan he will be scarred for life - good thing he's not a bit older because if his friends parents saw the article and told their children that would become his nickname for a long time to come.

Honestly have people nothing better to whinge about.

Anyone else craving these now? Obviously not Soubriquet because she is weird and doesn't like mash.

I bought the alphabet letters from Tesco, tried to spell out my DCs names but couldn't so I moved on with my life.

Someone has way too much time on their hands! Surely you grab a handful out the bag and chuck them in the oven? Who can really be arsed trying to find the right letters for names?

I don't like a lot of things but mash is one of my really pet hates

I even hate pizza and cake

I was chuckling earlier at the story of the missing 2yo child who was found on the top bunk. Mum said (in reference to him climbing up there)
"he's very advanced"
Not totally sure what she'd have made of dd2 who was climbing up to top bunks at 7 months-and only had one hand.

poor little Icgan

As a child not being able to spell my name in Alphabites left me traumatised.
I don't think it's too much to ask that they include the letters for Genevieve Francoise Bernadette in the selection.

This is the dumbest thing I have seen in a long, long, long time.

I think I actually dropped IQ points just reading about someone who would complain about a RANDOM selection of letters in a RANDOM bag for which she paid a fucking POUND.

She needs a grip. DFOD

What sort of bastards are Tesco? Making such shite food!
