Snottogram


 

Have just sent a snottogram-email which might set a cat amongst a pigeon or two.


MxExlibris My favourite sort of email!

Madam Fifi What's a snottogram-email?

Bentonbag My brother introduced us to the term snottogram for a letter where you complain and/or express your feelings in strong and very clear (but not foul) language - ie get snotty about things. 
A snottogram-email is where you do it by email.

Bess Cavalier It works - I complained to M&S about the drop in quality of their breakfast service and was sent a £5.00 gift card. Would still have preferred a decent bacon sandwich though!

TheNiece That is such a Bigbrother term!

Bentonbag In the earlier years of the boys' education I wrote quite a few to the Local Authority about various failings or dissatisfactory service (copied of course to local councillors and senior management). Strangely I don't seem to have to do it as much these days. 
Either they've got better, I've got more tolerant or they just think "Oh cheeses it's that woman, just do as you're asked."

I am not an unreasonable woman ....
