I'll take a minute to apologise - my initial post was meant a little bit tongue in cheek but was taken a little bit out of context.

A really cynical begger might find it ironic (in a bittersweet kind of way) that in a post about fast food, the OP seemed aghast at the thought of having to walk for 10 minutes to sort it out...average walking speed of 5 km/h...whats that, about 800 metres...yet an equal amount of time spent making a post about it which is never going to actually sort it out didn't seem that much of a problem.

Luckily, I'm not a cynical begger.



Again then, sorry for any offence caused.

No apology needed, old chap. It was the best comeback to a pointless whinge that I've seen in a long time.

Ah, I'd rather just make peace and get everyone happy. It is a vent board after all.

No, I understand completely. You should have seen the response some months ago when I was a little in my cups and I decided to tell the ladies on the Nappy Cake thread exactly what I thought of their 'hobby'. They took great exception to my pointing out that Nappy Cakes are stupid and pointless. They didn't like my gag about 'Y-fronts Lasagne' either. I had to gorge myself on humble pie the next day.

Don't go there. The reality is much, much more hideous than what you currently have in your head. :eek:

I've changed my mind. I am not going to spare you the hideousness of it all:

WHY???? Why is it a "pointless winge"? I was haveing a moan,thats what this board is for, so you could say all the "vents" are pointless then.
I wasn't asking for compo, or vouchers, or looking to sue them, so why have a go???

Also,GreyPilgrim, I understand about the cynicsm and sarcasm in your post but written word often doesn't come across with irony in the voice,and yes i could have gone back rather than post the thread, but that would mean more petrol,my dd having to wait for her lunch til i got back again, and i couldn't be arsed,ok?!

Will get their head office number and moan to them instead of posting my frustrations on this board in future.
