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 consuming mould, even though I’ve been reliably informed that by regular eaters of the stuff enjoy it – apparently the mould will grow on you (apologies for that terrible attempt of a joke).
A mouldy orange really did make me wonder if as much thought goes into picking our groceries, as Tesco claim.
Anyway, all’s well that ends well. After slating them on Twitter – the essential complaint tool for any modern day Victor Meldrew – I received a refund. In the old days, I would have demanded compensation, for coming into contact with toxic food, but I’ve mellowed in the last year and gone past caring.

- 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...
- 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...
- Infuriating Supermarkets And Scary Tomatoes
I realise that I haven’t blogged for a few days and have probably left you in suspense over Tescogate. I have forgotten where we left off. I told you I was sent out of date cheese. I was promised by Tesco, that a store manager would ring me to explain what has been going wrong....
