My email to a local grocery firm who have a habit of stocking and sending me out of date food (I’ve been politely British before but can’t be bothered to do anything other than state the facts now):
Me: ”Just to let you know…
2 Lion Bars ordered this week – both dated October 2012 (and tasting pretty nasty) … so I checked the two Kit Kat Chunky bars from this week’s order. They were dated for August 2012.”
Their reply:
“We need to check what stock we have here.”
Hahaha… Not sure what we’ve achieved there. Short and sweet and probably quintessentially British in its perfunctory attitude.
Which brings me on to this: 21 Brilliant British People Problems. Several made me laugh out loud (8, 11, 15 and 16). :)

You are very nice AC. I hope they get things straightened out for you.
Well you’re very nice for saying that! I live on a small island and this is the *one* service to deliver groceries to the door (and good for them for being so enterprising). It’s a symbiotic relationship therefore – they get through their [hopefully only] growing pains, I remain patient because I love the home delivery service … and usually we meet in the middle with [apparently] appreciated feedback and, from them, a bottle of wine or strawberries in the middle of winter.
