Acid Free?

by morelearning @ 29/04/06 - 05:10:08 pm

Dear WH Smith and co,
This afternoon I acquired some of your blotting paper, which was clearly marked on the packaging "Acid Free"
When I presented the sheets at the checkout the assistant asked me for £1.99. I know it's not a huge price to pay for top quality drugs, but I felt your packaging was unnecessarily misleading; surely "Acid Cheap" would be more accurate?
I dropped a couple of tabs immediately, but I found that the quality of the hallucinogenic experience was rather inferior to those to which I have become accustomed.
As a consequence I saw the following strange events:
* A man juggling with fiery sticks;
* A bloke with his hands up the arse of a tapdancing midget;
* A huge crowd gathered in the "Clarks" theatre; the only act appeared to be a gaggle of 16yr olds dressed in white nylon showing the audience weird shoes;
* A scary crowd of weird black creatures flapping around the Clock Tower (I've had that one before!)
By then the drugs had really kicked in and I started imagining that Dominoes Toy Shop had opened a cafe bar with a roof terrace in the middle of some 100yr old factories. As you will imagine, this was quite disturbing for a product that is openly on sale and could be purchased by minors. Perhaps you could put it on a higher shelf or charge a bit more - perhaps marking the packet "Acid dear" to dissuade vulnerable teenagers from falling victim to such harmful images.

A refund wouldn't go amiss either.
Thanks in anticipation

It always makes me wonder when I see '0% finance'. Will they give me money and expect none in return? ;)...

Oh don't be such a kill-joy ML

Bring forth the blotting acid paper of Belle WH Smith.

Perhaps they were really extra large rizzler papers for the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk.

You bought them error..........
