Dear Aunt Bessie
I have just had the misfortune to try one of your Yorkshire Pudding Beef Dinners.
I say misfortune, because what might have been an excellent meal was spoiled by the
lack of adequate heating instructions on the packet. Your instructions clearly state
'Remove carton and film wrapping, leaving paper disc on meal, and place on a
suitable plate.' As my wife quite right pointed out, at no stage in the
subsequent instructions is one told to remove the paper disc. Now you
might argue that it would only be common sense to remove the paper disc
once the meal is heated through, but unfortunately common sense is not
a commodity which my wife has an abundance of - I married her for her looks
- so consequently she served up the meal to me with the paper disc
still between the Yorkshire Pudding Dinner and the plate. Eating
paper, even along with a Yorkshire Pudding Dinner, is not a pleasant
experience. Whether or not it was eating the paper disc which gave me
diarrhoea the following day I'm not sure - if I was sure this letter
would be coming from my solicitor, not me - but what I am sure of is
that it was an altogether unpleasant and unnecessary experience.
This can't be the first time it has happened, and to ensure that
it doesn't happen again I suggest that you amend the instructions
on your packet accordingly.
Yours faithfully  |
