Thanks Tesco

All you can do now is try and grab one from a supermarket, which shouldn't be too hard. Yeah it's annoying, and yeah it's bad service, but it's happened now; I suggest put in a formal complaint and hope for some vouchers or something?
 
What did people do in the old days before personal transport existed i wonder? WALK to the shops and get a turkey. If its enough to ruin your entire christmas its worth it. Bring a backpack to put it in.

What a stupid comment. By your very same 'logic', people stuck at airports have nothing to complain about as they are not dead.

The fact that someone else is worse off than you, does not mean that you have no valid gripe when your online Christmas shop turns up without a turkey, and you then get further gash customer service when you get on the phone to complain about the website inconsistency.

Presumably you wouldn't complain if some fool drove into you whilst out on the roads, cause hey, AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT DEAD LOL.

:rolleyes:

Your logic is as flawed as mine. Someone driving into me would be a localised incident. The weather is affecting almost the entire country to different degrees so the bigger picture does need to be looked at. The amount of moaning because of the weather gets tiresome really quickly. Instead of bemoaning his luck the op could nip to the shops and pick up a turkey and solve his problem himself with very little hassle.
 
So if someone skidded on some ice, which would be related to the weather, and crashed into you, you wouldn't have a right to complain because there are some people stuck in drifts or jams? Op has a valid gripe, despite your dumb 'think of the children' line of reasoning.

Would that not be slightly more serious than someone having to nip to the shops to buy a turkey?

Ok, off you go to write a definitive list of acceptable OcUK moans. Let a mod know. I'm sure they'd be happy to sticky it.

Of course it's less serious, but the principle remains: just because there are people stuck in airports, doesn't mean it's not annoying not having a turkey delivered then being told the actual latest delivery allowed was before the 19th.

I get annoyed when I stub my toe. Next time I will consider those starving in Africa.
 
The single manliest thing you can do right now is, go out to the nearest supermarket in the snow. Wait until all of your family members are in the house, then come back, bursting through the door and embrace being a true breadwinner.
 
Slightly annoying, but really go to a shop or get someone else to. Another vote for goose. Who cares about cost it's Christmas and tasty.

The nearest supermarket is 2.5 miles away and my car is now stuck under snow making it a walking event only. As I mentioned earlier I have problems with both my knees and this distance (5 miles in total) is too much for them to cope with, I wouldn't be able to move the next day if I tried.

We are asking some family to bring a turkey but they are a bit far away so it is a bit hit and miss if they will be able to get here given the weather where they are.

This.

Or you could do the awfully English thing and write a strongly worded letter to Tesco and your M.P. You would be embracing nothing other than suspicion that you have a canyon between your legs.

Get a taxi. Do you want a turkey or do you want an excuse to be furious? If it's the latter then quit the charade and call Tesco for a moan.
