I rarely laugh myself to tears, but this customer complaint letter is about the funniest thing I have ever read. So read this post if you need a good start to your weekend. I found this letter at one of the blogs I read: Parables of a Prodigal World<\/p>\n

This letter was\u00a0an email sent to Sir Richard Branson<\/a>, owner of Virgin Atlantic Airways, by an unnamed comedy genius.<\/p>\n

Dear Mr Branson:<\/p>\n

REF: Mumbai to Heathrow 7th December 2008<\/p>\n

I love the Virgin brand, I really do which is why I continue to use it despite a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years. This latest incident takes the biscuit.<\/p>\n

Ironically, by the end of the flight I would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell I was subjected to at the hands of your corporation.<\/p>\n

Look at this Richard. Just look at it: [link to image 1<\/span><\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n

I imagine the same questions are racing through your brilliant mind as were racing through mine on that fateful day. What is this? Why have I been given it? What have I done to deserve this? And, which one is the starter, which one is the desert?<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t get to a position like yours Richard with anything less than a generous sprinkling of observational power so I KNOW you will have spotted the tomato next to the two yellow shafts of sponge on the left. Yes, it\u2019s next to the sponge shaft without the green paste. That\u2019s got to be the clue hasn\u2019t it. No sane person would serve a desert with a tomato would they. Well answer me this Richard, what sort of animal would serve a desert with peas in: [link to image 2<\/span><\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n

I know it looks like a baaji but it\u2019s in custard Richard, custard. It must be the pudding. Well you\u2019ll be fascinated to hear that it wasn’t custard. It was a sour gel with a clear oil on top. It\u2019s only redeeming feature was that it managed to be so alien to my palette that it took away the taste of the curry emanating from our miscellaneous central cuboid of beige matter. Perhaps the meal on the left might be the desert after all.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this is all irrelevant at the moment. I was raised strictly but neatly by my parents and if they knew I had started desert before the main course, a sponge shaft would be the least of my worries. So lets peel back the tin-foil on the main dish and see what\u2019s on offer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try and explain how this felt. Imagine being a twelve year old boy Richard. Now imagine it\u2019s Christmas morning and you\u2019re sat their with your final present to open. It\u2019s a big one, and you know what it is. It\u2019s that Goodmans stereo you picked out the catalogue and wrote to Santa about.<\/p>\n

Only you open the present and it\u2019s not in there. It\u2019s your hamster Richard. It\u2019s your hamster in the box and it\u2019s not breathing. That\u2019s how I felt when I peeled back the foil and saw this: [link to image 3<\/span><\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n

Now I know what you\u2019re thinking. You\u2019re thinking it\u2019s more of that Baaji custard. I admit I thought the same too, but no. It\u2019s mustard Richard. MUSTARD. More mustard than any man could consume in a month. On the left we have a piece of broccoli and some peppers in a brown glue-like oil and on the right the chef had prepared some mashed potato. The potato masher had obviously broken and so it was decided the next best thing would be to pass the potatoes through the digestive tract of a bird.<\/p>\n

Once it was regurgitated it was clearly then blended and mixed with a bit of mustard. Everybody likes a bit of mustard Richard.<\/p>\n

By now I was actually starting to feel a little hypoglycaemic. I needed a sugar hit. Luckily there was a small cookie provided. It had caught my eye earlier due to it\u2019s baffling presentation: [link to image 4<\/span><\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n

It appears to be in an evidence bag from the scene of a crime. A CRIME AGAINST BLOODY COOKING. Either that or some sort of back-street underground cookie, purchased off a gun-toting maniac high on his own supply of yeast. You certainly wouldn\u2019t want to be caught carrying one of these through customs. Imagine biting into a piece of brass Richard. That would be softer on the teeth than the specimen above.<\/p>\n

I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was relax but obviously I had to sit with that mess in front of me for half an hour. I swear the sponge shafts moved at one point.<\/p>\n

Once cleared, I decided to relax with a bit of your world-famous onboard entertainment. I switched it on: [link to image 5<\/span><\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n

I apologize for the quality of the photo, it\u2019s just it was incredibly hard to capture Boris Johnson\u2019s face through the flickering white lines running up and down the screen. Perhaps it would be better on another channel: [link to image 6<\/span><\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n

Is that Ray Liotta? A question I found myself asking over and over again throughout the gruelling half-hour I attempted to watch the film like this. After that I switched off. I\u2019d had enough. I was the hungriest I\u2019d been in my adult life and I had a splitting headache from squinting at a crackling screen.<\/p>\n

My only option was to simply stare at the seat in front and wait for either food, or sleep. Neither came for an incredibly long time. But when it did it surpassed my wildest expectations: [link to image 7<\/span><\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n

Yes! It\u2019s another crime-scene cookie. Only this time you dunk it in the white stuff.<\/p>\n

Richard\u2026. What is that white stuff? It looked like it was going to be yoghurt. It finally dawned on me what it was after staring at it. It was a mixture between the Baaji custard and the Mustard sauce. It reminded me of my first week at university. I had overheard that you could make a drink by mixing vodka and refreshers. I lied to my new friends and told them I\u2019d done it loads of times. When I attempted to make the drink in a big bowl it formed a cheese Richard, a cheese. That cheese looked a lot like your baaji-mustard.<\/p>\n

So that was that Richard. I didn\u2019t eat a bloody thing. My only question is: How can you live like this? I can\u2019t imagine what dinner round your house is like, it must be like something out of a nature documentary.<\/p>\n

As I said at the start I love your brand, I really do. It\u2019s just a shame such a simple thing could bring it crashing to it\u2019s knees and begging for sustenance.<\/p>\n

Yours Sincererly
