Man becomes embroiled in supermarket delivery service tug-of-love.

Jul 02, 2009 12:49

I've had a reply to my strongly-worded letter to Sir Terry Leahy, the Chief Executive of Tesco Plc, which I'll place behind this ( cut )

tescogate, tesco, sir terry leahy

I like how his minion doesn't bother to blame Leahy's lack of response on the very demanding nature of his job or something, but just "the very nature" of his job. His job's very essence.

The thing is, I don't care if he's been called away from the office on business. They should call him back - "Sir Terry! There's an emergency!" I mean, their machine stole my quid. I can't think of anything he could possibly be dealing with that's more important than that.

You obviously lack true insight into what Buddhists call "the Leahy Nature".

If you continue to hear nothing from Leahy, I'd suggest sending him a strongly-worded Facsimile on 01992 644961.

wardytron July 2 2009, 12:00:32 UTC

Obviously I don't want to have to do this, but I'm even considering sending a strongly-worded Tweet.

rhodri July 2 2009, 12:03:33 UTC

If you do, make sure you print off the Tweet and send it by Facsimile to 01992 644961.

'he is often called away from the office on business'

If he's doing business elsewhere, what's the office for?
No wonder he can't sort out your quid, the man's clearly barking.

wardytron July 2 2009, 12:24:28 UTC

I don't believe for one second he'll respond to me "at the first opportunity on his return" either. He'll be logging on to Facebook first, I'm sure of it.

I'd call him Mr Skeletor.

That letter translates as 'We really can't be bothered to actually do anything about your pound, and hopefully you'll think this is some sort of response and will now let the matter drop' which, if you're right and it was written by a monkey, shows the animal has a more than rudimentary grasp of the English language.

wardytron July 2 2009, 12:52:34 UTC

Actually yes, come to think of it, you probably would be quite polite in your dealings with Skeletor, wouldn't you. "Anything I can do for you, Mr Skeletor, sir? Anything I can get you? Cappucino, latte? No? Well if you change your mind you just have to ask."

whizzerandchips July 2 2009, 13:03:25 UTC

I wonder where Mr Skeletor shops? I'm betting he's not a Tesco man. Oh no, as he and his ammassed army step out for a loaf of wholemeal and a tin of chopped tomatoes I'm betting he goes in the direction of Budgens. Or Lidl.

wardytron July 2 2009, 13:47:29 UTC

To be honest I don't think he do his own shopping. I think he'd send Evil-Lyn out to do it. I don't think he's a very modern man in that respect. My guess is Evil-Lyn would have to do the shopping for everyone in Snake Mountain: Kobra Khan, Webstor, Two-Bad, Modulok, everyone. I expect she'd go to Iceland and get a couple of Jumbo Lasagnes.

You sure about that interest rate? anonymous July 2 2009, 12:41:26 UTC

2% a fortnight? 50% per annum?

Re: You sure about that interest rate? wardytron July 2 2009, 12:50:22 UTC

Are you suggesting I don't meticulously research these entries and that I've clearly miscalculated by a decimal point, like some sort of idiot, or something? How dare you.

Re: You sure about that interest rate? whizzerandchips July 2 2009, 13:05:24 UTC

I expect Leahy plays the currency market. Right now he's probably trading wardytron's pound for the Japanese Yen in the hope of making a fast £0.000043.
