Last Nights Dinner - A Disaster!
« on: 26 July 2007, 11:55:10 »

Well, the Mrs picked up a hot cooked chicken from morrisons yesterday for our dinner.

Got all the veg and spuds cooking,

Start carving, and my Nice Sabatier carving knife, broke, handle came away from the fork, all forged metal, just snapped, ahh well.
At this point discover the supposedly cooked chicken is not fully cooked, still pink and bloody, AAARRGGH

Now what we do for tea, well the mrs nips out to the chippt to buy fish to go with the dinner!

We eat. Fine, but im fuming inside.

Ring up Morrisons, and ask for the manager, fob off phone answerer cant get rid of the call fast enough when I tell her its about 1/2 cooked chicken and food poisoning!
Very apologetic manager, grovells massively, and we settle on a refund and some compensation, he didnt want the press informed, and environmental health!

Dug out my Boots receipt for the knives, no mention of the 20 year guarantee on the 9 year old receipt! So in I wander today, got a young girl 1st of all, she moved me to her supervisor, who heard the story, and moved me onto his supervisor.... Who said
Ive got a set of these, doubt I could find my receipt!  Do you want that as cash or on your card!  I said do you take inflation into account, she wasnt sure if I was joking for a min, so told her i was joking, took my cash and All was well!

Excuse my question but what stopped you cooking a decent meal from scratch? All the time and money you spend you would have cooked the best thing.

you should sell the story to the press, slightly less clever people may be lying up in bed all sick after eating a half cooked bloody chicken, that might have looked like ronald mcburger's avatar before they whacked it on the shelves!! (or worse, it might have looked like mine!)

As I often state at work, there is no such thing as no time......its all about priorities, if its a high enough priority, you always find the time for it!

....and excellent news headlines Mr McB....
