Worm found in cucumber complaint goes viral

[Still Waters]

When Wes Metcalfe bought a cucumber from a Tesco shop in Dinnington, Sheffield, he did not expect it to come with a dead worm.

So put off was he by the creature wedged inside the packaging, that he turned to Facebook to let Tesco know why it would be a while before he tucked into another cucumber sandwich again.

Tesco's comical comeback and Mr Metcalfe's response to it have gone viral.

It started on Saturday, when he posted: "Dear Tesco, yesterday I purchased one of your fine cucumbers to make my favourite dish - a cucumber sandwich.

Do people not think their fruits and veggies have not had any bugs crawling on them before harvest?  They better not drink any juice, eat jam or fruit bars.  A percentage of foreign matter is allowed in production.   And that doesn't just mean leaves.

Poor little William has now been laid to rest. Tesco was kind enough to send a card.

That's hilarious. Typical British humour.

I think this is awesome. Great someone out there still has a sense of humor. 

Over here in the US, they'd have sued Tesco over emotional distress.
