Is this Newcastle sandwich fan’s complaint about his ‘uneven’ loaf the best thing since sliced bread?

David Walker bought a loaf of sliced white from his local Morrisons store at Killingworth.

But when his wife came to make him a snack, she discovered the slices were ‘wonky’.

David took to Facebook to complain... and his comments have since gone viral, with more than 7,000 shares and 17,000 ‘likes’.

David told the supermarket chain of his “monumental” outrage at not being able to “make a sandwich fit for a gentleman”.

The post reads: “Morrisons Killingworth! You listen to me, you listen good and you listen hard. Do you hear?

“Right! Look at this photo, just look at it! These 2 adjoining slices of bread have just been taken out of a loaf bought from your store.

“To say I am monumentally outraged would be an understatement.

“How do you people expect me to make a sandwich fit for a gentleman with slices that have been so grotesquely, unevenly cut?”

He goes on to describe how his wife, Gail Carr-Walker, was equally horrified.

“She came scurrying through shrieking, ‘Eee David man. Look at this bread like,’ he wrote.

“‘It’s gaaan aahl thick n’ thin man. Ah cannit make a sangwidge with this like can ah?!’”

David he added: “This is my lunch we are talking about and I deserve and demand so much better!

“I hope you arrive at a satisfactory conclusion to this fiasco.”

Morrisons took the complaint with tongue firmly in cheek.

A staff member, Jay, replied to David: “Hi David, I hope the shrieking’s stopped now and that the house is peaceful again.

“The wonky loaf won’t be any good for your sandwiches but would make a very attractive organic doorstop!

“Can you PM me your address please and we’ll sort something out for you! - Jay”

The store then surprised David with two new loaves of bread, delivered fresh to his door.

“A customer of our Killingworth store, David Walker, bought a wonky loaf and took to social media to remonstrate in a very humorous way,” said a Morrisons spokesperson.

“Within 24 hours we surprised David – with our Killingworth in store baker hand baking, cutting and delivering a new loaf to his home.”
