" Nichola Hart complained to Tesco, furious at being let down by the supermarket. The 30-year-old mum of two had bought a bag of alphabet potato shapes in order to teach her son Logan to spell, so she was livid when she discovered that there were no Ls or Os in the bag, so she was forced to write 'ICGAN'. http://money.aol.co.uk/2016/12/07/hi...3D333750083_uk
A letter to her MP is in order surely. Stupid woman.

One of the funnier "complaints" I've come across between a "customer" and Sainsbury's https://twitter.com/sainsburys/statu...rc=twsrc%5Etfw

So the bag contained no L's or O's? It's no laughing matter.

It's the fault of all these immigrant potato pickers, who don't speak English
On a positive note she could enter next years I'm A Celeb, and probably win |

She could have bought full size waffles and made the missing letters easily out of them. Much easier once grilled rather than still frozen. No initiative these days.

"I'm sorry Logan. We can't do spelling today, so instead I'm going to teach you what it's like to have an idiot for a mother".

I remember the joys of Alphabetti Spaghetti, it always seemed like the tins with an F didn't contain a U.

She could teach him how to spell 'stupid' instead, she'd have letters for that.

I remember that episode of Batman where they found a cry for help by pouring alphabet soup into the Bat Computer. Luckily they had the Alphabet Soup Bat Container with them

That may not been all she does but everything helps when teaching them.
It has been used as a trick before the kids don't realise they are learning. |

Yes, but even that's not guaranteed. I opened a tin once and it was all O's !

To be fair that does sound like an extremely traumatising experience.
I once had a kit kat...it was all chocolate. It took 3 Months of therapy to get over that food catastrophe. |
