Ones with very sore a**es, I should imagine, @B3. That's the trouble with living here. The place is full of them. I grew up in the adjoining area, which is the worst bit. It hasn't improved. I used to call these sorts 'Gucci women'. When I told a friend that I met at playgroup or similar, she said that was very polite. She called them the 'Mearns Bitches'. [The Mearns bit is the shortened name of the area.]
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Eggstra large eggs - perhaps the complainant should stop for a minute and consider whether she should be expected to produce an Adult as opposed to a Baby. I'd thought some of the SM's had stopped selling Xtra large eggs ( in part due to a campaign by the BHWT ) - you don't get bigger yolks just more white. Agree with @Fairygirl - if you are going to compile a report about "Complaints", at least specify the type of complaint. Otherwise no way of knowing whether it's someone having a bad day, likes complaining for the sake of it or a genuine complaint.
Emancipation hasn't really gone far enough has it ? Wonder how long it will be before women can just start laying eggs ? Propagators provided on the National Health ? Obviously still have to go thru the pricking out procedure, consider space and number of C/P/ots available and so on. Must confess the only time I have been involved in childbirth was staying up all night to watch my first tortoise eggs hatching - wonderful and I think women should be able to have the same experience - no blood and mess, no pushing ( or not ), no dad on the sidelines trying to be brave but fainting at the crucial moment. Just the pleasure of watching your egg break open and life emerging. Sounds ideal - the trouble just comes later on
We once had a customer call Head Office because someone asked " how are you today ?" he said it was none of their business to ask such intrusive questions.

I would suggest that they probably weren’t very well

I asked a neighbour once how was her husband as I hadn't seen him for a while, she replied "why do you want to know" i wasn't sure how to reply to that!

I would probably have said 'just checking you haven't buried him under the patio' but I can see that in many situations that might be taken amiss. This is why I live a looong way from people. Can't be trusted to play nice
