    Sound's like you are trying to scam Tesco's to me, very convenient that you put the bag and content's in the bin. Maggot's in rice??
    Sorry but that's just my opinion.
    No need to be sorry for your opinion. You're just wrong. Seriously. It's true. The little wriggly things were so gross, chucking them in the bin was the only option - especially as I had guests who I was trying to impress!Could I suggest you go read Martin's post about BEING NICE TO MONEYSAVERS at the top of the forum? I asked for constructive criticism on a letter. Not for you to call me a liar.

    why not simply ask for what it cost you... bag of rice and the restaurant meal (i'm sure you have a receipt) ...i'm sure you could get more but where is the honesty in that

    Why are people questionning my honesty? I don't get it? I can't think of any reason why people would think i'm being dishonest. I've asked for what it cost me plus some vouchers and a box of chocolates/flowers cos it was bloody embarassing and totally ruined my night. I could have leaked it to the papers and sued them, but I didn't. Good grief.

    that's rather naive of you. believe me, it happens. most unpleasant. and what exactly would you do with a bag of maggots? sit them down to dinner?

    I don't think you're out of line at all, finding maggots in your food is an absolute disgrace! And it's a lot more extreme than the usual reasons for refunding food products...

    Huh? It is true, I just wanted to be clear that I wanted the restaurant money back, but didn't want to over push it and ask for a new porsche or anything! IYSWIM!!

    Sorry, I remembered you mentioning the maggots on a different post - I thought you'd exagerrated the dinner costs etc. Of course, maggots shouldn't be in food at all and it's horrid whether you were going to cook a banquet for 8 or a meal for just yourself. Yuk.
