That brand is also pretty useless over the top of bowls in the microwave as I found out tonight trying to heat chilli while our kitchen is redone.

I've got a packet of peanuts here that advises me that "If you are not completely satisfied with this product, please return it for a full refund".

They were pretty nice nuts... but am I wrong to need a little more in order to be "completely satisfied"?

That's nothing,earlier on I went to selfridges but they don't so that was a wasted trip. And don't even get me started on boots,because they don't have any in stock. but the worst one is mothercare I left her there for 3 days and they didn't even offer her a drink.as far as products go I had a mars bar earlier but very much doubt it was from there,my crisps are labelled as walkers but they haven't moved from the cupboard in 2 weeks and the amount of times I've snorted Coke and instead of being off my tits, just had a sore nose is unbelievable. It's beyond a bloody joke.

I love the fact you can buy Waitrose "Essentials" Balsamic Vinegar!

Use a double layer like I do, works a treat.

I'm always amused by Aldi Diet High Impact Energy Drink with zero calories!

Robinson's Bitter has been described as beer on more than one occasion by the people who make it. Quite clearly an entirely false assertion.

Reminds me of a Viz letter - to the makers of Dulux "once": please rename it to "at least twice, possibly more depending on the light"

Saw a jar of Horseradish sauce the other day, on it it said 'Ideal accompaniment for Roast Beef... Suitable for vegetarians.'

I kid you not.

You went to the wrong one: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/uk/london/galleries/8...

(I was going to say "oh yes they do" - I'm sure I remember looking at fridges in the basement of their Oxford Street shop many years ago - but it seems that they no longer do white goods.)

Now that looks like a trustworthy fridge purchasing outlet. Wonder what kind of guarantee they offer?

I find the fact that labels on products have to say 'serving suggestion' hilarious. eg a can of beans, which has a picture of beans on toast, on a plate, on a table in a kitchen has to inform people that this is a only a 'serving suggestion'. Because I'm sure if they didn't have this disclaimer some tw*t would complain that there wasn't the toast, plate, table and everything else in the can!

it's probably only this country that needs too highlight this aspect of the packaging.

On that point, people keep telling me to put the kettle on. I've tried, but I can never get it to fit.

My complaint about my ice axes wasn't the description at all, it was that they melted.

Nuts and a blow job would be an odd product....

A plate or dish or bowl over the top works well too.

I bought this large 'hound type' dog from a bloke in a white leather suit, with a quiff and a medallion.
He said it was a high class dog, with a good pedigree and I was guaranteed rabbits and it would always be my friend.
It was a pure lie. I took it rabbiting and it just lay there with its paws over its face whimpering.
I can't find this bloke for love nor money!
