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.

Love that letter! Grin

When the Daily Mail come round don’t forget to have a few borrowed children staring at empty plates with crossed arms & angry faces.

Also make a note of all relevant details for the story such as “as an ex pole dancer & library card holder, I didn’t expect to find a hair bobble in my £3 tasty treat”.

It's nearly 3.30am and I'm still laughing at

Is that a euphemism?

HelloViroids · 05/11/2020 04:14

Oh Cod OP, I would be round their plaice causing haddock if I were you - might get a few squid.

Jackdaw's letter is genius. You should have sent it for a laugh.

I still might, they haven't replied to me yet and they've had hours to write the cheque.

Take lots of pictures of fish/bobble, put them in a photo album and flick through remembering happier times when FF came with only cod inside....😢

Backtoreality1 · 05/11/2020 15:04

Thanks for the giggle :)

Scoobygang7 · 05/11/2020 15:22

Looks more like a seal off one of the machines. Not nice to find fb message and let them know

Weedsnseeds1 · 05/11/2020 15:24

Did you photograph / give details of the coding on the packaging? The factory can't really investigate without that information.

Cocolapew · 05/11/2020 16:52

Its definitely a hair bobble.
The word bobble is beginning to sound wrong I've used it that much Confused

Could have been worse. Could have been the mermaid's bra bit😁

Cocolapew · 06/11/2020 20:46

Well I've heard back.
They want me to take the box and bobble into my local store and they will...........

Arrange a refund.
A refund.
A.

How are you going to pose for your sad face article? Wearing the fish finger in your hair? Chomping on the hair bobble?

As an aside I once ate (and then coughed up) an old brown looking elastic band which had been cooked into my asparagus pasta. When I complained the chef told me that the rogue elastic band was an assurance that they had sourced the asparagus from an independent organic supplier; ie that their food wasn't pre prepared or frozen. No refund for me - he was so convincing I left feeling I should have been grateful

I'm unwell atm so I'm thinking of dragging myself through M&S in my jammies and dressing gown looking like crap.
Then my pièce de résistance, dum dum dum duuummm..cry.

Maybe throw in a wail or 2 about my poor starving babies

You need to threaten them with the media and your local mp.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 06/11/2020 21:37

Their marketing team is surely already ready to use this to emphasise that their fish in fishfingers is free fange/wild caught because someone at farms would realise there is a mermaid in the tank😂

Oodlesofnoodles20 · 06/11/2020 21:44

A refund? You could have died! Or at least choked a little and ruined your makeup. Did you threaten them with the papers? You should totally do that, they’ll be shitting themselves.
