DP just returned from Tesco having bought a 12.5g box of Amber Leaf tobacco. When he tore off the cellophane and looked inside the box he found no tobacco and precisely seven sheets of toilet paper and 2 two-pence pieces! What the devil is going on? We're just sat here, open-mouthed, staring at bog roll and coppers. Has anyone got any idea what could have happened at t'factory? Has anything like this ever happened to you? Where's our baccie?! Confused

This thread is the best.

Well done to Tesco having a sense of humour after all Grin

LiberalLibertines · 05/09/2014 10:53

Yay!!

Agree shocking grammar from Ms Rogers, obviously not an mner.

Hope last night was a success, if not romantic Grin

We can see your email address in that photo OP Blush

I am a bit in love with, Leslie. I sent her this in reply:

'Awwww, Leslie!

What can I say? You've restored my faith in Tesco (although not, sadly, in their curry sauce; I am still shitting through the eye of a needle). I seriously am baffled as to what the Dickens has happened with this scam. It's very bizarre. Mind you, it could have been worse; there could have been no bog roll in the packet and I would have had to wipe my volcanic arse on the shower curtain. I have to confess, Leslie, that much to my eternal frustration my nan is not, in actual fact, dead, but living quite happily smelling of piss, squandering my inheritance at the bingo and being a general pain in the arse. Do you think you could send me some air miles to put towards a flight to Dignitas in Switzerland?

Thanks again, lovely Leslie, for your reply.' [Image removed by MNHQ]

What a brilliant thread. Cheered me right up.

Itsfab · 05/09/2014 11:40

Can't see the Tesco email big enough to read. When you click on photos they are just as tiny as in the thread.

MmeLindor · 05/09/2014 11:59

Um, you do know we can all see your email address on that pic?

PistolWhipped · 05/09/2014 12:10

Yes, I do, thank you Mme, but I'm okay with it. Thanks, too, Owl Smile

I see I've posted Leslie's reply again by mistake. Sorry if some of you can't see the pictures. When I click on them on my laptop I can see 'em clearly. Who asked if last night was a success? Thank you, yes (if by 'success' you mean sperm placed at the entrance to my cervix) Grin

I've just sent Leslie this photo, claiming it is my baby's reaction to Tesco's own brand curry sauce...

I am reading your updates while talking to sister on the phone. And she thinks I'm laughing at her Grin

By the severed heads of bastard Jihadists!

Of all the hilarious things on this thread this is the hilariousest. I shall try to work that into conversation.

PistolWhipped · 05/09/2014 13:41

I'm wondering why Ian passed it on to Leslie. I'm also wondering whether one gets a prize for one's thread going into t'Classics. At this rate I'm going to have enough cash to hire a hitman for me nan.
