OP get a grip, Tell your wife to look after her teeth better maybe it was due to break.

What a pathetic response. If you actually *read* what the OP posted before joining (late) the chorus of disapproval, you would have seen that apparently a dentist said the rest of the lady's teeth were fine, suggesting that the broken one was too. We await your apology...

I think they have wandered into this forum from Discussion Time by mistake.

The money is not the point.....if someone does not make a stand it could be a child next time that is minus a tooth.

If the dental health of children is a concern of yours, then you could do a lot worse than donate your £20 to an organisation like Dentaid.

http://www.dentaid.org/

They support many worldwide initiatives to bring dental care to the children of the Third World, where stores like Aldi don't exist.

I'm sure they would put your £20 to a very worthwhile use.

Having been involved in one or two cases where people have suffered a bit of damage from foreign objects in food, I'd say you've done quite well out of this. It is such a hard thing to prove conclusively that object A caused damage X that there are very few places you can realistically go if the company simply deny any responsibility.

I just could'nt help myself, i just had to take a peek.

Toothsmith please note it was £15 and the company involved have admiited responsibility in writing.

Thanks Crazy Jamie and Zandoni i shall consider writing again to Aldi. My Home Insurance actually states i am covered for Legal Expenses for personnal Injury, i shall give them a ring.

If some could have seen the pain and tears my wife went through for 24 hours they may have not posted such rubbish on here, or maybe they would have anyway.

You still here 'Bedsit Land'.

Just as an after thought.....i visited the Dentist myself 2 weeks ago as my tooth had broken of it's own accord. Six minutes i spent in the actual room to be told it's fine until your check up...cost £17.

£170 an hour.

3,272 posts and you are calling me a 'Muppet', how immature. You 'Cyberbob' do not know me and have never met me so why abuse me ? I am not going to be drawn into a conversation with you after this reply as i can imagine you sat in your bedsit.... alone (3,272 posts).
We have never as a family persued compensation in any way in over 40yrs, how some people put others into little boxes amazes me. Who mentioned hundreds of pounds ? not me.
To all those on this site...and i'm sure there are a few who offer good advice keep it up. To the few that have replied to me as Cyberbob and his mates have with no advise and just a dig whilst hiding behind a keypad i have nothing to say to you.

If your only listening to those with low post counts why are you taking any notice of Toothsmith? Is it ecause you only like comments if they agree with you.

I think you need to get a little perspective. Yes your wife hurt a tooth on an Aldi product. Aldi quite happily paid for the treatment and gave a voucher. They could quite easily have fought it and you would have had problems proving anything.

The point is people like you. Yes i'm afraid with posts like this I know the sort of person you are. Are the reason this country is in such a state. Accidents happen even though someone has paid for the consequences to be fixed. You want more. Why you have had the problem fixed you have had an apology. How do you know your wife;s tooth wouldn't have broken a couple of days later on something else. You don't

So you just want to push it for more money even though you have already had fair recompense. That really does make you a Muppet and a Chancer i'm afraid.

Personally I think you need to take a good look at yourself and your actions and try and work out what you are trying to achieve beside getting a big sum of money for an accident that has already been sufficiently compensated by the compant.

I;m afraid no one here put you in a box you managed to do that all by yourself with your first post, Good luck on your compensation claim I do hope they have a good laugh at it. It'n nice to see you only agree or take advice of those who agree what a good idea you have there.

free weekly shop (£100)

On a completely irrelevant note, you spend £100 a week in aldi? :O You must be feeding an army.

Only way i'd ever spend that in a week at aldi would be if i bought a camera/external hard drive etc also :rotfl:

Then again, no kids in my house

Well we will never know. I wont be apologising to anyone I have an opinion and I have the right to express it on this open board. If you dont like it then you dont need to reply.

OP has been compensated given vouchers to shop at horrid aldi. What more do they want 10K cheque.
