Really? Do we complain about everything now?

Is this really news?

Maybe she should try giving her child healthy food and try getting a life. Stupid cow.

Jesus wept.

I think she should complain to Tesco about the lack of nutritional value in their children's food Wink

Dear Nichola

I suggest writing with a finger in glitter, or shaving foam. Or getting some magnetic alphabet letters. All fun ways to teach someone their name

laurentperrier · 06/12/2016 17:04

Was the complaint written in alphabites? Grin

NotYoda · 06/12/2016 17:06

I also noticed a typo in the article

Logan's always practicing his letters

There'll be a justgiving page set up next. Pccr deprived chiid.

heygotanygrapes · 06/12/2016 17:09

Utter outrage, I'm disgusted on her behalf. Tesco should hang their heads in shame. Xmas Grin

Hang on, here's an 'o' for her Biscuit

On a different note, I always wonder about those Picture Books they advertise on TV, where characters collect letters to make your child's name

Does that mean Ben gets a three-page book?

CozumelFox · 06/12/2016 17:09

Practise with a pencil, you daft bint.

FizzBombBathTime · 06/12/2016 17:12

I live near the silly cow

I'm putting my house up for sale

Being a dumb arse is catching right?

Holy mother what a crap meal.
If this is a disappointment she's one lucky fucker because what a blessed life she leads.

I saw a template for those books that I set up for dd but couldn't force myself to buy it at the price it is

There's about 3-4 pages before the name and one page after so it's ok I suppose

Hahaha and all- but what it looks like to me is she's complained to Tesco, a Mirror researcher has spotted it doing a spot of lazy journalism and thought this was a gift from god- a puff piece that would go viral. The only loser is the 'dumb fuck' mother :/

Much better value for Montgomery though

I think it might have been a bit tongue-in-cheek on her part and now we're all talking about it.

Another good reason to not be on FB or twitter (or start threads on MN)

I've just found some bone in a sausage.

I think that's worth a proper complaint. Not bloody alphabites.

Greenglassforvino · 06/12/2016 17:26

The don't learn the capital alphabet? they learn it in lower case and most schools do phonem sounds. clearly she's after some compo! she needs to set her sights higher...

PenguinsandPebbles · 06/12/2016 17:26

just buy two packets then you silly woman or rename your child it's easy enough.

I am very glad to have found a kindred spirit I cannot stand anything mashed, the thought of it makes me want to hurl.

Nobody I know gets this and keeps insisting on trying to get me to eat some form of mash, so I say I don't like mashed potato they take this as a challenge and list off other vegetables! To which I reply it's the mash part and again random vegetables are thrown at me names on physical vegetables

They cannot seem to grasp that I have nothing against potatoes it's the texture of it.

Drives me nuts

She should change his name by deed poll to Ian. That's a real name, and there's enough letters on the plate to accommodate that.

They need to work better at their sad faces.,,
