One side of the family (Father's) said Rat ~ t'other side (Mother's) said Cat. Matter of breeding I suspect.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Dear Mr Nick

Thanks for getting in touch.

I'm sorry you're unhappy with the signage at our Ellesmere Port store.

In-store signage is aimed at our customers, so it's extremely important we get it right. I'm sorry on this occasion you feel we haven't. I've passed your comments onto our marketing team who've told me they'll consider your feedback the next time they create in-store signage.

Thanks again for getting in touch and hopefully I've been able to reassure you we take all our customers concerns seriously.

If you need any extra help, please let us know.

Kind Regards

Tracey Shiel
ASDA Service Team

She had to be a Tracey!

Kid's is JUST WRONG!

One could say that if one had breeding one wouldn't use either phrase.

Mummy got it from the servants. Amazing what children will pick up from the lower orders no matter how one tries to shield them.

The phrases are only used by those who have been brought up to believe that breeding is something one does, not something one has.  noooo:
