Please help with the plight of Percy Pig. See below email sent to Marks and Spencer PLC:
Dear Product Manager,
As a regular patron of Marks & Spencer PLC, I recently purchased a packet of Percy Pigs and Pals, for which I have a penchant. Predicting later pleasure with my pals, I was piling on the praise for your product to said pals whilst presenting them as after dinner pickings because I know they have a particular proclivity for jelly sweets. Whilst perusing the contents of the packet I was particularly perturbed to discover a puzzling lack of Pigs, only Pals!
Please could you produce an explanation as to how this is possible as your product lead is Percy the Pig so this should presumably be the primary placed product in this packet? At eighty seven pence I was particularly proud of my purchase, because of my predilection for pigs. I therefore have profound hopes that you can put right this below par pig percentage. Have the pals been promoted? This is positively preposterous. What will be the plight of the pig? I personally feel that it is a pity and it’s only proper that an explanation is presented.
Yours Pedantically,
Phoebe & her peculiar pals
P.S. I purposely put as many “P” words in this particular message as possible; partly because I am partial to pigs and partly because the lack of pigs has piqued my anger.

Percy Pig (singular) and Pals (plural) on the packet name presumably prompts the purchaser to realise there is one pig but plenty of pals in the packet.0

Perusing my previous post I presume I am mistaken. Was there not a pig present in the packet at all?0

Perhaps the pigs were pilfered?(Prior to purchasing.)0

No Pucking Pigs in your Pucking packet,i would Pucking well complain in the Strongest Possible Pucking way.
Make sure that Pucker of a Director Pastard Pucking well understands that your Pucking night with your Pucking friends was Pucking well ruined.
Just my Pucking opinion.Forum spellcheckers are the pitts.0 -
