Guess what Tesco.com thought would be a suitable substitution for the bottle of Jacob's Creek Chardonnay I ordered last night?

Boggers.

[BONKERZ]

[SusieDerkins]

[SammyK]

Uni are finished now aren't they?

Who was it last year who got a wooden owl instead of a box of eggs?

[PuppyMonkey]

Wait for it......

A loaf of Hovis White Bread.



White wine... white bread???? Is that the logic do you think????

[ruddynorah]

o.m.g

cos it's...white too. jeeeeez.

[FAQinglovely]

PMSL - that's so awful it's very funny

[SammyK]

as it's not my bottle of wine that's been subsituted, would be v.unipmressed to find my wine nowhere to be seen and a loaf of bread in it's place!

[FlappyTheBat]

, at least the substitution would have been cheaper. Take it you didn't accept it?

[TheArmadillo]

PMSL

maybe they though you could comfort eat to cheer yourself up about no wine?

Or maybe they thought you ordered too much alcohol and were giving you something to soak it up with?

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

I would be very tempted to ring and ask them what their logic is for the choice of substitution.

[PuppyMonkey]

Me and the driver had a larf about it. it all got quite religious in the end... talking about turning bread into wine etc etc...

I didn't accept it. I also phoned customer services and they were so apologetic, they said they'd waive the delivery charge.

Still got nothing to get pissed on this week though.

I thought substituting allinson's bread flour for allinson's bread was bad enough (also Tesco) think I'll keep my mouth shut now.

You should tell tesco to deliver the wine bet they will.

[FlappyTheBat]

Obviously, whoever was picking your items forgot to "use their loaf" or were too busy "loafing around" to do their job properly.

[BitOfFun]

A nice bottle of white wine is the best thing since sliced bread...perhaps that was their logic?

[PuppyMonkey]

I wouldn't mind so much, but I'd already ordered three loaves of Warburtons Toastie white bread. Surely they must have realised I had all the loaves I required for one week!

[TigersChick]

Rofl!

[Saltire]

Last year they subsituted my haggis with a tin of shortbread,a dn the reasoning behind was "well they are both Scottish"

[FlappyTheBat]

mmmm, lovely -shortbread, neeps and tatties!!!!

[modrin]

rofl @saltire...typical! if that had been round here you would have got a bottle of Buckfast tonic wine which the op could have tried!!!

[PuppyMonkey]

I'd settle for any wine at all round about now. Even Lambrini would've been better then nowt!

[CherryChoc]

I think you can make your own wine with a slice of mouldy bread, perhaps that's what they were hinting at

I once ordered 4 pints of full cream milk and 1 pint of semi-skimmed, they substituted the semi-skimmed for 1 pint of full cream - do they not take the rest of the order into account when they substitute things??
