Tesco have messed up again. Let’s give them credit though, they went an entire three weeks without messing up. Today’s instance was a classic – delivering out of date food. We ordered two packets of mozzarella cheese, as have been planning a Mediterranean style meal this evening. When unpacking our shop, my wife discovered that not one, but two packets of the cheese were out of date by an entire four days. It’s a good thing we checked, as I wouldn’t want to risk eating a rich, soft cheese that far past it ‘use by’ date.
We did the usual routine – Claire rang Tesco, while I tweeted. They apologised profusely, which is pretty standard. As I’ve previously said, I refuse to blame the customer service team. I asked for compensation or a letter of apology. I was offered the letter. Perhaps had we eaten the cheese and developed a nasty strain of food poisoning, we may have been able to claim some form of financial payment, from one of those ‘no win, no fee’ lawyers. I will reluctantly accept the letter, under the condition it is from the manager of the store where our order comes from and not the poor people who keep apologising to me for someone else’s negligence.
No trackbacks yet.

One packet of freshly baked Danish pastries. Whoever did the baking clearly forgot to seal the box containing the tasty Scandinavian...
- Ther War Is Over
The war with Tesco has finally come to an end. After many years of complaining to customer services, followed by assurances that they had changed and we would never be sent out of date food again, or discover our items had gone missing, I have called a truce. I will not be using Tesco online, for...
- Moth Salad
I chose to forego my salad for today's lunch. A colleague had bought a Coronation Chicken sandwich from Tesco. Inside the sandwich, hiding inbetween two lettuce leaves, was a giant dead moth. Luckily he didn't eat it. My leafy salad was also purchased from Tesco. Now, I know it's unlikely I'll find any dead creatures in...

There's nothing like a cock up from Tesco to get me blogging again...
Yesterday, our delivery driver kindly dropped off our weekly shop. Along with all our crisps, cake and coke (the 3 essential C's, and your five a day), we had some oranges. These oranges came with a free gift. Mould. I'm not one for... - Tesco. The End Of The Road.
It has been a while since I last blogged about any Tesco atrocities. It hasn't been lack of mess ups on their part which has seen be stop. I am just fed up of the entire thing. Fed up of the endless complaints over the phone, through email and Twitter. I wrote a formal complaint...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
