It's not just bad spelling...it's M&S bad spelling.

[BarcodeZebra]

It was our wedding anniversary on Saturday. My best man, being a considerate sort, decided to send DW and me a couple of bottles of wine via the services of M&S.

Let's imagine, for the purposes of this post, that my name is Martin and that DW is called something like Jane. The message on the accompanying card read as follows:

"Matin and Jane. Happy anaversary for tommorow."

Clearly M&S help the celebrants of anniversaries so rarely that they have never used to word before.

Splendid.

Complain complain complain

And point out in your letter of complaint that a large hamper might go some way to alleviating some of the distress caused

lol at title
Did they spell your first name wrong as well or was that a typo for a name that isn't actually yours?
Anniversary is easy to get wrong, but that wrong? They got the first and last letters right I suppose!

Oh no, they got my name wrong in a perverse missing-out-a-letter kind of a way. You don't this I'd stoop to a typo here of all places, do you?

AAAAAHHHH!!! "think" NOT "this" Barcode you cretin!!!!

I forgive them everything. Look how easy it is!!!

Not defending you but everyone makes typos. My posts are riddled with them, plus I regularly drop apostrophes (for some reason that key seems so far away when typing one handed)
Would you get it wrong at work? Especially if it was your job?

It has taken me about the 6th re-read of the OP to spot "tommorow"

[Checks "happy" in the dictionary]

[phew]

I love the title of your thread Zebra.

It was quite gratifying really: I farking HATE those porny ads where the food looks like it's covered in Vaseline.

Oh, aren't those messages usually typed out by the sender at the time of ordering? In which case he can be forgiven - such a lovely thought (I'm assuming internet ordering here so if not then shame on them!)

They spelled tomorrow wrong too.

Begin your letter of complaint

"Dear Emuness...."

Racer: No. He'd NEVER make such a mistake. He is incredibly particular. The man is in his mid 50s and has legible handwriting for God's sake!

He gave the order over the phone but even so: "anaversary"? Surely they send the odd anavarsary bottle or two out during the course of the normal working day.

love the thread title

and at them!!

Fair enough
(forgot to say am also most amused by thread title!)

Snort!

What is emuness?

Surely it should be Eminess?

I have recently returned a pack of cards to M&S, all adorned with thank's!!

No!!!

Were they suitably abashed?

No, they were greatful.

They sent me a rambling letter assuring me of their commitment to quality, blah blah...

They also sent me a gift card to the value of £3 (woo-hoo) but failed to withdraw the cards from sale. So I had to write to them again and remind them!!

They are no longer on the shelves. My work here is done.
