Angry with Asda...grrrrr

Post by BeanoKev70 »

Well popped into my local Asda this morning to grab lunch & this weeks Beano & the lady on the magazines was just removing the last two issues of last weeks Beano & yes wait for it The Dandy. I said to her you know there is no Dandy this week as that issue is a three week one, I must have been wearing my bananaman costume because she looked at me in a strange way. I showed her the recall date on the cover & she said OH.

Guess what went in to get my dinner (Steak & Chips, peas & Mushrooms for anyone interested) & there it was a big gaping hole where The Dandy should be.....GRRR DCT must bang their heads against the wall.... I know I do.... :headbash:

Well, this certainly proves that irregular frequencies DO NOT work. People can't buy it if it's been taken off the shelves early!

I'd e-mail DC Thomson if I were you! They need to be made aware that this irregular issues thing is ridiculous! Extra buyers, my foot - surely they'd gain more buyers if they sold an issue every week! ARRRGGHHH!! :headbash:

Some punctuation would not have gone amiss in your post as "guess what went in to get my dinner" threw me for a while. And nice to know you were "well popped".

Apologies for pedantry. It comes with reaching middle age - grumpy old men and all that. I'm just waiting for my haddock and chips to cook. Marrowfat peas for me, though.

I still follow the teachings of the late, great Oliver Reed when it comes to peas; they have to be mushy.

I didn't see any Dandys when I bought my Beano in Asda today. I bet my branch took them off early too.

Just to balance it up a little I got the latest Dandy from Asda yesterday. The Dandy's were shoved right at the back as always though but I moved them to the front like the champion for traditional British comics that I am. :D

Went into Tesco on Wednesday to grab my copy of the latest Beano and in the recommended bit was The Dandy! Looks like Tesco aren't as stupid as Asda!
