First pic is the photo on the website, second is what arrived. I know the lilies haven’t opened yet and they obviously aren’t displayed in a vase, but AIBU?
They were on sale but RRP was £40

Is MiL pleased with them?

loveka · 14/08/2018 18:03

Yep, it might drive me to drink potentially.

JeremyCorbynsBeard · 14/08/2018 18:10

Pissed OFF. FFS. Pissed means drunk.

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 14/08/2018 18:19

Would you be pissed means would you be angry? It has always meant this my entire life?

Andylion · 14/08/2018 19:10

Oh, come one, everyone knows what "pissed" means in this context.

yorkshireyummymummy · 14/08/2018 19:15

I get really pissed OFF when people start speaking ‘ american’ for no good reason.
Isn’t the original English good enough?.

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 14/08/2018 20:24

Because language evolves? This clearly means angry and it's just being pedantic to pretend it doesnt

loveka · 14/08/2018 21:14

It hasn't become a common phrase here though? I have never actually heard someone say this, apart from on an American sit com.

DoubleNegativePanda · 14/08/2018 21:20

It was pointed out to me on MN by a British MNer that it's actually your language which has evolved, and Americans who use a more "original" version of English.

Just sayin' Wink

DoubleNegativePanda · 14/08/2018 21:20

And to answer the actual OP, I would be angry as well. It looks a bit crap compared to the picture, especially for what you've paid.

I would be disappointed I think - doesn't look like a treat and having flowers delivered should be VERY special.

Inter flora delivered the wrong colour flowers to my mam last year and I asked for a refund. This felt massively first world but they were a gift and the colour I chose was significant to us both. they refunded half which wasn't great but I didn't have the time to keep arguing .

This is true actually @doublenegativepanda it's one of the reasons why Americans say 'erbs and we say herbs as 'erbs was the correct way to pronounce it before we started vocalising the 'h' Smile

I have to buy flowers all time at work (for clients/mahoosive team in 4diff locations). I stick with M&S and Next for flowers as quality's fantastic and they are way cheaper than those OP. They aren't great. They look like a £25bunch to me.

I knocked the ‘off’ from the title because it was too long and clunky and I assumed you’d all know what I meant.

It’s not like I wrote ‘Vagina’ instead of ‘Vulva’ is it? Wink

When did we not vocalise the ‘h’ ? Do you mean specifically with this word?
Not sure it was King ‘enry the VIII
