Advice required (foreign body in toothpaste)

[chesters1]

i can only enlarge on my scanner to 400% (gives a 3" sized penny) but using proportinal i had a go at a 10" penny and it came out very well ,unfortunatly at 150dpi it still is a 6.5mb file so far to big to post on here (especially on a 56k modem)

i used to have a Rev scan (unknown far east manufacturer) scanner with built in transparency adaptor which was cheaper than this crap HP 2200c one i have now ,it let you have any size enlargement and was far more advanced than my current one :mad:

i sold it as it would have suffered in storage i wish i haddent

Last year i was eating a yogurt when a sliver of wood stuck in the roof of my mouth!

I contacted the company who made the yogurt and they sent me a stamped addressed envelope to return the Foreign body in.

After a couple of weeks i got a nice letter and a voucher for £5 for more yogurts.

They said the wood must have come from the fruit packaging and please accept our appologies and voucher e.t.c. e.t.c.

Well it was good to get a reply but i felt a little fobbed off and so wrote to them again saying so and pointing out that the wood that stuck in my mouth had drawn blood :mad:

I got another letter and a cheque for £25 so i accepted this offer as i thought it was fair.

Should i have taken it further or was the second offer adequate compensation?

It sounds a fair deal to me, Tyke. I don't think we should be adopting the massive claim culture which we seem to have started and it sounds like a fair explanation.

 

Mind you it was wood from fruit packaging this time, so what's to stop it being partially decomposed rat next time!

 

Did anyone read that article about a sausage factory in the Daily Mail just before Christmas? Frightening! My uncle, who is a farmer, always told me not to eat meat pies, sausages and burgers unless you see them being made.
