Good Morning Monday

P.S. Please be on your good behaviour :-)
Nan; What else!? I was on my own, apart from a regular visiting nurse (not allowed to drink whilst on duty!) and two kind lady neighbours who brought a lovely roast lamb dinner, two custard pies and a box of choccies! Lovely! Aussie ladies are so caring.
The day was subdued by news that my young sister had died in Bideford on 1 July, just 4 days before her 86th. birthday
But I'm surprised you've carried a grudge all this time about something I allegedly said (inappropriately). Even though I'm now 92, my memory is still very sharp, but all I can recall is your invitation to show me around Sandbanks, Poole Harbour where our family had celebrated many anniversaries at local hotels.
I must have inadvertently put my big foot in something as usual.
You must join our Mutual Forgiveness Society of which I'm Chairman!
Thanks again!

Gonegirl ??

Or I might just stick them on next week's Ocado.

Or maybe Wednesday. Or t might be Thursday. Depending on how energetic I'm feeling.

Right! I will go to Waitrose tomorrow and buy some of the frozen cod fillets, and put a picture up.

See you on Good morning Tuesday.

Loving this longer thread ha!
It’ll soon be Tuesday GM at this rate ....
?

That was to Gonegirl.
tgey they

I too have bought them and tgey have always been in a plastic bag. Mind you...I last bought the fingers maybe Feb or March but the cod fillets every week.

Forgot pics

Didn't mean you gillybob. I meant Gabriella with her golden breadcrumbs.

BTW. I have a working Rotary watch and matching bracelet (bought on eBay years ago - 3 diamante missing from bracelet) but forgot all about them until Urmstongran's post. If anyone would like to give them a home I'd be happy that someone would wear them as I don't wear watches and my wrists are too big from rowing. Free offer.

Buy one of these.

There really is nothing worse than being desperate for your morning cuppa only to find that every tea bag in the box is bust though Gonegirl anyway I only got back what I had paid for . No freebies .

Waitrose chunky fish fingers do NOT come in a plastic inner bag. I buy them and I know.

I don't know why you got that £10 MyWaitrose voucher Gabriella, but if you complained about the lack of a plastic bag, shame on you. There are worse things happening to this planet than you getting a few golden breadcrumbs on your kitchen floor.

Wow! Urmstongran what a result. Kudos.

Good for you though Urmstongran. All I got “free” was a long winded email of explanation as to how the glue must’ve failed.

I thought that gillybob but didn’t like to say it!!
Perhaps I was just canny by going straight to the top man?

Trust me to just get back exactly what I had paid for . Not even one free tea bag !

Ha! Which reminds me of the top customer service I got from ‘Rotary’ watches about 6 years ago.

I lost a favourite watch. My husband had bought it for me on our silver wedding anniversary. I felt bad and didn’t want to tell him. I thought I’d quietly replace it myself.

Turned out the newer design (which I didn’t like as much) was noticeably different. Aargh!
?

I emailed the CEO of Rotary explaining my predicament and asked whether they had any of the ‘old design’ available and if so, would I be able to purchase one?

His secretary emailed me back the very next day asking for an address to post out a replacement watch with the company’s compliments!

I didn’t give my home address.
?

Not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth probably accounts for the fact that we are still together after 45y!
?

...and if you think that's overkill, Sainsbury's sent me a gift card last year after I returned a pair of pillowcases, washed but not ironed. I said they were not ideal material.
The letter stated that the gift card had £50 on it. Two days later I got another letter, this from the store in Liphook where I bought them with a £7 gift card inside.
Unbelievable.

Perhaps you are one of Waitrose’s best customers Gabriella! Or that the company just like to go above & beyond for customer satisfaction.
?

Very generous of Waitrose . I emailed Yorkshire Tea to tell them that the entire box of 180 teabags were bust ( the bags were not sealed and the tea was loose) . They apologised profusely asked for the batch numbers etc. And sent me a box of 180 teabags as a direct replacement . Fair enough but not exactly falling over themselves in the generosity department .

Gonegirl & Urmstongran
Yes, you'd think it would stop at an explanation but the person I spoke to was sure that it was a factory error, however, despite telling her politely that I did not want compensation, I received a plastic voucher in this morning's post (see pic).
I have also been informed that my local store will provide me with bags and stickers from the fresh fish counter so I can freeze the portion(s) I'm not going to eat. They will also give me another box of fish even after me telling them that a voucher arrived today.
Overkill...

I buy it every week and it's always in a plastic inner as are their chunky fish fingers.
I was not pleased to tip out the contents onto the work surface only to have orange breadcrumbs cascade onto the floor.
Incidentally, I did tell them that the cardboard outer is far too big for two pieces of fish, and I was only going to use one piece so I had to use a Waitrose sandwich bag for the spare piece. Paper in freezers doesn't work.
