Hilarious letter in today's Daily Mail

I very nearly soiled myself laughing when I read this earlier. At first I thought it was a joke but now I'm convinced this guy really was 'offended' by the cartoon fruit. I'm sure the Daily Mail only printed it so people would buy the paper all this week for the inevitable response letters.

This guy must have a really dirty mind to have seen the picture in that way. Sexual repression perhaps? I don't know but I'm sure a psychologist would have a field day with this one!

It's very funny but it doesn't have the ring of truth about it.

Yeah, it doesn't quite feel genuine but it was the part about the "heated exchange" with the store manager that convinced me it might actually be real. Having worked in a supermarket for years, I've had customers complain to me and the management about ridiculous things like this. None of those complaints were anything like as comical as this one though.

Typical daily mail reader. Lets face it if this was two lemons he wouldn't be moaning.

I love the bit about his wife having to sit down in the car park, due to being so distressed - lol.

Re: Hilarious letter in today's Daily Mail

Nothing like drawing attention to it and giving the sweet free advertising. Sounds like a clued up sweet salesman to me who will no doubt see his sales rise

I wonder if Simon Simpkins will also be boycotting Cadbury's products until they get rid of the Caramel bunny (the teasing minx).

Re: Hilarious letter in today's Daily Mail

tbh that's the sort of hoax letter I'd write to the DM just to see if the nobheads publish it ... and I've written a few to various newspapers and BBC POV
