Virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter?

Here we reproduce a complaint letter sent to Sir Richard Branson, which is currently being emailed globally and is considered by many to be the world's funniest passenger complaint letter.

'Look at this Richard. Just look at it'

[Pic of Meal in URL}

Dear Mr Branson

REF: Mumbai to Heathrow 7th December 2008

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.

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 thehands of your corporation. Look at this Richard. Just look at it: [see image 1, above].

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?

I was reading this to my sick husband, and I could barely get out some sentences, as I was laughing so hard.

There are 7 pictures at the site which correspond to parts of the letter. This is hilarious. Thanks for posting.

. . . .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.

That was painfully funny

With the emphasis on "PAIN"

I am only up to image #3 and I had to take a break and stop reading as my side hurts so much and I can hardly see from my eyes continually tearing up, such as I am laughing hysterically--I mean belly laughs!

Too bad this isn't getting more view than it did, cuz it comes in the top 10 of the funniest things I ever read

Maybe its just my sense of humor, but I can actually picture poor ol (English?) guy (I'm assuming as I don't know) going thru these different dinner experiences, each one more revolting and incongruous the the previous one.

Oh, well, back to the letter!!

PS Thanks Joe, for posting

I needed a sugar hit. Luckily there was a small cookie provided. It had caught my eye earlier due to it’s baffling presentation: [see image 4, above]. It appears to be in an evidence bag from the scene of a crime.

Bwaaa!

Right up there with Dave Barry's column on colonoscopy prep. http://www.miamiherald.com/283/v-print/story/427603.html

I'm trying to find the Dave Barry column where he writes about his daughter's “Princess-Themed” birthday party. The Princess Pinata portion was disturbingly hilarious!

The topper may be Virgin’s reply—that it’s award winning food very popular on its India routes.

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.

ROFL!!
