Really? Do we complain about everything now?

Is this really news?

So easy to make your own spud letters anyway. Silly mare.

maddiemookins16mum · 06/12/2016 18:37

She's overcooked them anyway, they'll be hard. I actually feel sorry for someone with so little intelligence to complain about such matters.
(Plus, if I was going to photo my kids tea, I'd magically add sweetcorn and broccoli for the sake of appearances).

*Here are the ASCII codes so Logan would be:

01001100 01101111 01100111 01100001 01101110*

That would be a lot of potato for a 4yo to eat!

I did them for dd a few days ago and she asked for her name and her best friends name.

Letters were falling short so I just did COW and DOG, no reflection of the girls Grin

All helps with her learning...

maddiemookins16mum · 06/12/2016 18:43

Plus....Smiley Faces saves any name issues (just saying).

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 06/12/2016 18:47

Luckily I was able to spell my sons' names. Thank God I called them Jyy and Yjjy

Glad to see Tesco havent offered her any compensation for her obvious distress.

Disappointed in the lack of sad faces though. Hopefully if the DM pick it up they'll rectify that

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 06/12/2016 18:50

I must've had a lucky bag last month. I was able to spell Logan all proper and everything.

My Logan however is 15 and didn't give a shit.

Soubriquet · 06/12/2016 18:54

Haha Penguins that link

"Covered with mould"

Then later on "dotted with mould"

Good sad face though

Red. Oh the DM will pounce. No fear of that. And good for Tescos

Floggingmolly · 06/12/2016 18:55

Why do they allow pondlife like this a public platform to display the workings of their single brain cell? Pathetic.

Namechangeemergency

BECAUSE IT GENERATES PUBLICITY

I bet shaped potato product sales have rocketed today

Namechangeemergency · 06/12/2016 19:09

Yeah I know but ...war...Trump...dying children...fecking potato shapes

Although I am partial to a potato based hot foodstuff.

user1468353179 · 06/12/2016 19:11

My Welsh friends Myfanwy and Rhiannon are really upset.

TiggyD · 06/12/2016 19:12

You can't teach everything by using potato shapes.

(If that sentence doesn't make a book of profound quotations I just give up!)

hiccupgirl · 06/12/2016 19:15

That's brightened up my day no end.

No doubt if the poor child fails to get into Uni aged 18, it'll all be due to the lack of potato letters when he was 4.

lozzylizzy · 06/12/2016 19:23

If they did have all the letters, what happens next time when there are just the q j and w left? She ought to buy chips and write his name in ketchup instead!!!

EveOnline2016 · 06/12/2016 19:25

Why not put random letters and then ask him to think of a word that starts with G or A

OlennasWimple · 06/12/2016 19:26

What a waste of a sad face opportunity

FlappysMammyAndPopeInExile · 06/12/2016 19:29

^I save all the c,u,n and t's for Dp's dinner&

Ya Dancer! Grin

TheEmmaDilemma · 06/12/2016 19:29

Fuck me.

I can die now, I've heard it all.

originalmavis · 06/12/2016 19:30

Did they say what are the letters in her bag were? I bet they wouldn't spell out my name either 😭

Janey50 · 06/12/2016 19:31

Dare I say it? First world problem!

Karmin · 06/12/2016 19:33

Couldn't she have just butchered a Q and a T?
