This is what the Sainsbury's voucher booklet that came through my door today said.

Since when is "Easter" a verb?!?

Much the same way as how one summers daaaaahling Grin

Oh god Sainsbury's

We'll be doing rabbit in Cumberland sauce. Boiled egg rolling after.

It caught your attention.
I'd say that's a job well done for Sainsbury's advertising dept. 😄

Such bollocks

ComtesseDeSpair · 06/03/2018 18:37

Dunno about the preposterous verbing, but my response to this question is always thus:

"Same as Jesus - going out Friday, coming back Monday."

If the summer one mentions holibobs (or however the fuck you spell it) then I am NEVER shopping there ever again.

They want us to make it a mini christmas

Not just a chocolate egg and be done with it...no, they want us all going 'all out'

What day does one 'Easter' exactly?

Rylanmakesmyheartsmile · 06/03/2018 22:12

Quite the opposite Pinky - it just makes me want to go to Tesco to buy all my Easter eggs this year!

Oh god. That's so cringey.

What will you be gifting while you're Eastering? Wink

SistersOfPercy · 06/03/2018 22:58

Eastering is quite close to festering which coincidentally is what I shall be doing on the sofa with copious amounts of chocolate.

Ouch44 · 06/03/2018 23:07

Does it not say "are you Easter ready?" Now that would really want to stab someone in the eyes!

BlackeyedSusan · 06/03/2018 23:11

bought my milk free egg in aldi this year.

Theshittyendofthestick · 06/03/2018 23:12

The best thing about Easter is that you get a nice little holiday from work but without the massive expectations of Christmas. I refuse to do anything except eat chocolate and let the kids decorate an egg. Any other shop recommended paraphernalia can fuck right off! (Bah humbug!)

Fuck me with a butterchurn, YANBU.

Tell those orange-coloured, Jamie Oliver-loving twats to fuck off. I hate marketing wank-speak and Sainsbury's are one of the worst for it.
