I've just found a hair bobble in my M&S fish finger. I don't know how whether to go to the Mail or Take A Break.

@Cocolapew

Maybe it was a mermaid 😟
Makes you wonder whether that would be cannibalism.
Cocolapew · 04/11/2020 17:39

Omg! Its getting worse.
I'm off to Google if mermaids are human.

It depends which end of the mermaid you got OP although since you got the bobble, the signs are not good.

They won't give a crap

Years ago I took my dinner in to M and S with a large piece of blue plastic in the layers of Lasagne - wasn't a hardship, I worked across the road. I literally bought it, heated it in the microwave and walked back over the road.

He took my name and number and said someone would get back to me

They didn't Hmm

I found a piece of spiral metal (thin, almost like a coil) in one of my M&S frozen croissants that I'd just cooked. Only found it because I was cutting it up for the toddler and couldn't cut through. I complained (with pictures of said metal, though not my sad face) and got a £25 voucher off them!

Suzi888 · 04/11/2020 21:47

Why are you going to complain? You got a free gift! GrinWink
yuck! btw!

SchrodingersImmigrant · 04/11/2020 21:54

I now wonder if mermaids are all mamal meat or fish meat or half and half. Surf and turf situation? Damn it. I played myself there

Would have been better to photograph the hair bobble in the fish finger.. how you found it. You could have put the fish finger down on your own hair bobble

Cocolapew · 04/11/2020 22:26

I don't own a hair booble, I have short hair. Well I own one now obviously.

But... this ‘wasn’t just any hair bobble this was an M&S hair bobble’

There's no evidence that the OP didn't plant the hair bobble herself for the compo

ViciousJackdaw · 04/11/2020 23:49

That's atroutious. I would give M&S the opportunaty to sort this out first, then go to the papers if they flounder.

About 30 years ago, I found some plastic in my M&S coleslaw. My mum took it back (I was a teenager); she got her money back.
I was obviously too naive to not do a DailyFailSadFace. My chance at money and fame - gone!

Glad you saved it. Now get your best dressing gown on as the local paper will be round soon. Be sure to put the bobble on a manky plate and point at it while doing a sad face.

Don't forget the standard lines "what if my toddler had been eating it? He could have died!" "I was so upset I threw the rest of the meal away and was retching all evening". M&S might try to give you a £20 voucher. Don't take it because you're so upset you'll never eat their food again.

FlouncerInDenial · 05/11/2020 00:20

Whale, there's r-eel-y no proof. And your story sounds quite fishy to me.

Btw, I'm pretty sure mermaid aren't vegan. I'm not even sure they're gluten free

ViciousJackdaw · 05/11/2020 01:43

I've done you a complaint letter...

Dear Mark Spencer,

I write to you with much sadness in my sole. I was tucking into my M&S Fish Fingers last night and discovered a misplaiced hair tie embedded in one of the gadiform digits. You can sea the offending item in the attached photo. Needless to say, I was shell shocked. I always believed M&S to be a sofishticated store.

You don't need to be a brain sturgeon to realise this isn't acceptable. In fact, it's a turtle disaster. Someone could easily have been krilled.

I do not wish to make M&S walk the plankton nor make you feel gillty. I do expect recompense though and I am happy to give you some time to mullet over. Let minnow if you have any suggestions and I look forward to herring from you soon.

Best fishes,

Ms. C. LaPew
