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.

That has the beginnings of a Viz Top Tip!
Save money on expensive alphabet shaped spuds (etc)

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

They weren't F's, they were broken E's.

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

That makes sense, kids would only want half of one instead of a full dose.

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

Yes but surely no one actually relies on them to have all the letters needed. That's the bit that's off.

Why doesn't she try alphabetti spaghetti? Do they still make that though?

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

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.
