    I'm pretty sure chocbar/MrK has laughed his @ss off at this and the other thread and is already onto his next creation..

    The Asda delivery man I had last week asked if I was 21 before handing over the wine I'd ordered. I'm 40!!!

    He's clearly making fun of my age and I was so upset I had to spend all evening drinking the wine I'd bought, which ruined a perfectly good Sunday as I then had a hangover.

    I think I'm going to complain - an apology....or at the very least another couple of bottles of wine to help me get over the pain and trauma.

    BTW, has anyone noticed an increase in these threads with bizarre stories involving large supermarkets? There's MrKringle's effort and I remember a month or so ago there was a spate of odd complaints about Tescos. One was from a woman who claimed a security guard had put a sack over her and wrestled her to the floor as a joke and I seem to remember the other one was some oddball 'been accused of shop-lifting' thing. Always from new members too.

    Post the link please!!! :rotfl:

    Oh no, I mean oh yes, I'm having the laughing hysteria fit again after reading that. The man (choc/K) should be proud of his fine medicinal works.

    I'll have a search for it after work. I remember losing a mouth of tea over the posting...it was all written in a 'me love you long time 5 dowwah' style as well. Total classic!

    That's the one!

    Then there was Egg Lady and Banana Man

    I have a theory that somewhere out there is a Monty Pythonesque gang who spend their time going around consumer forums creating bizarre threads about bad treatment at the hands of supermarkets ;)

    Still only halfway thru egg lady's 1st paragraph and the fits are upon me :beer:
    Now on post 25, laughing so much my husband has just told me I am mental. The proper placement of punctuation mark early in the post is a bit of a slip and somewhat gives the game away. In high heels and 'running like a hundred metre runner'!

    Oh my lord! On Banana man post 1 now! Classic. :rotfl::T
