oh GOD oh PUKE i want to be siiiiiiick. have just found A FINGERNAIL in my loaf. AND IT'S FROM M&S!

[Aitch]

...not just food. aye right.

was looking forward to a bit of toast, picked up a slice of bread and a big, yellow, torn fingernail fell out. BLEEE! i'm not squeamish but am seriously squicked.

phoned M&S and they said i've to take it back to the shop and i'll get a refund and they'll investigate.

poor dd is yelling for toast, can't really go into why she's not getting any. think we're going out for brunch now.

i had a live (but groggy) locust in my salad once

leapt out when i opened the bag

[LynetteScavo]

at mouse droppings!!!!

[uptomyeyes]

Fingernails in a loaf..pah Last year I got mouse droppings in my M and S pizza! The little chap had really feasted on the cheese topping and shrink wrap plastic wrapper, then he had poo'd all over it and I went and bought it.

I got a new pizza (not sure I wanted one), a refund and then £25 of M and S vouchers through the post a couple of weeks later.

[LynetteScavo]

I've found a few hair in M&S salads before now.

I've heard tehy have their own internal food standards (or whatever)people, which other companies don't have...

[wigglesmum]

I found a shard of plastic in an M&S chicken pasta salad a while back and they only gave me a refund! It was really sharp too!
We used to do our weekly shops at M&S- not anymore.

[giraffescantdancethetango]

did head office get you anything free then? or just a poxy refund?

[Aitch]

multi seed bloomer slices. hideously expensive 'wise buy'

[wonderstuff]

Relative is pretty senior in food, will discuss when I next see him (he'll be thrilled!) What type of bread was it??

[TheFinger]

Good innit?!

Sadly (or maybe not) I didn't create it! Am 'giving' it to MN to fight off trolls with!

[Aitch]

lol, you must also have been wondering where the last ten mins of your life went, thefinger... you can't get that time back, you know...

was wondering where that nail went

[Habbibu]

There's an M&S in Byres Road??? Times have changed...

[Aitch]

well this is what pissed dh off tbh, we practically live opposite that bloody place so we spent FORTUNES in there (dh genuinely thinks that if it's got a 'wise buys' sticker on it, then it's a bargain) but the person still treated him like a wee bit of a prick.

i phones customer services this morning, was treated like a bit of a prick too if i'm honest.

[wonderstuff]

Aitch call head office, they have enough problems at the moment with the credit crunch they will investigate and send you vouchers I'm sure. I have family working in M&S food, tis awful at the moment..

[Guadalupe]

Mum found a screw in her Pizazz once. When they investigated it and confirmed it was from their machinery we got seven pounds worth of Walls vouchers which is quite a lot of ice-cream when you're 11.

[jammydodger]

I found a piece of jagged glass in my Fruit"n"Fibre once when I was 12 (actually had it in my mouth)...my mum complained, obviously, and we got....a free packet of Common Sense cornflakes. Woohoo.

[notsoteenagemum]

sounds like a toenail tbh!

[Aitch]

it was YELLOW, mle...

[Aitch]

ROFL how disaffected are m&s staff?!

where's ruddynorah, she works there...

[madlentileater]

if it's any concolation, if it was 'baked in' it will be sterile. But still gross.

[madlentileater]

arghhh....go to Trading Standards!
We had a bit of wood in a pie once (from Birketts, now Greggs!) and it was VERY thoroughly investigated.

[Washersaurus]

I had a pack of M&S wine gums and one of the last ones in the pack had a wirey black hair embedded in it

I promptly packaged it up and returned it to their customer services dept with a letter detailing my complaint and they sent me an apology and a £25 voucher.

[Aitch]

fortunately the croissant has cheered him.

[Guadalupe]

Urrgh at the croissant.

I can't believe they doubted your dh, that would really piss me off.

[Aitch]

nah, byres road. you're safe.

lolololololol at the almond croissant. dh feels a bit better now that he knows its company policy to act like a twunt.
