In store I ordered the 'youth small' size and signed the receipt checking the size, name and number were correct. She said come back in 45 mins and it'll be done, which it was. He's unwrapped it this morning and it's an adult one emblazoned with bet32 or whatever it is on the front! Which means I need to take another 3 hours out of my day to get back over there and sort it out! As you can imagine I'm in absolute turmoil. My boys birthday is ruined, loss of earnings today means I can't pay this month's gas bill and on top of it all my son says he wants to start gambling now he's been exposed to the sponsor! Here's a picture I took of me and my son this morning, on what was supposed to be a happy day... I'll obviously be sending this picture and my story to the Daily Mail but my question now is, how do I play it with the megastore? How do I get something free out of this? Maybe a training top? A Derby County mug? Or one of those postcards with Richard Keogh's massive face on it? Any legal advice/previous experience greatly received. Blame it all on Gary Rowett ??

I paid cash. I know that because somebody paid me £500 cash for a job the day before and I thought I was a big shot walking round with £500 in my wallet. Then 3 days later i found myself wondering how I'd managed to spend £500 so quickly and only having a shirt that fits no-one to show for it.

No. I'm a tax Dodger, and hoped he was in the joinery business. There's no English plasterers left anyway, especially not those ones who work on stilts when doing a ceiling, so much fun to watch I'd give them extra.

Parsnip Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 This is for @David really. I didn't want to start a new topic, it's not a huge thing. But I feel like David works hard to provide us with this platform and I want to give something back to him. And I know he'll enjoy this so I'll post it... So I've sponsored my local kids football team. I've bought their kit basically, embroidered badges, my business logo printed on the front, names and numbers on the back for each individual player. No expense spared. I offered to give the coach the cash to buy the kits bit he suggested I put the order in myseld so I can claim the VAT back. So I did and the kits came today. They are awesome! Beautifully embroidered, logo looks great, all the names and numbers are spot on. This part is for @David... ...ordered the wrong size ain't I. Enjoy your weekend David. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of creative folding and tucking and should sort the bigger kids out, and I'll order some smaller shirts for the smaller kids. Actually maybe I'll get someone else to order the smaller shirts.

They will get used then eventually. I can remember when I was a kid and we took it in turns to wash the kit. After the game the strip was collected in a big black dustbin bag and one week it ended up in the back of the bin lorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
