Cadbury / National Trust Complaint


Recently, a friend of the Sea Turkeys decided to buy some Cadbury chocolate Easter eggs that were on offer in his local supermarket. As any ex-scout should know, their motto is; "Be prepared." And he was, to an extent. He did purchase the eggs some three months in advance, just so he could have them to give to his son on Easter Sunday.

When he noticed that Cadbury and The National Trust were having a joint promotion, via this website, he decided to check it out. When he clicked the link he then decided to see where the nearest "Easter Egg Hunt" was going to be. It should be noted that he lives in Scotland. When checking the drop-down menu of available locations. He noticed, after checking several times, to see that Scotland was not mentioned. Northern Ireland and Wales were, however. But not Scotland. In a fit of chocolatey rage, he picked up the phone and called the Sea Turkeys. We too, were outraged by this olde-world, slightly racist attitude of two large names. So, it was time to send them a letter, on behalf of our disgruntled friend.

The Letter

RE: Easter Egg Trail

Dear Sir/Madam,
                     Whilst purchasing a Cadbury’s Easter egg for my five year old son, I noticed a website on the side of the packaging advertising the “Easter Egg Trail.” Naturally, I was curious and I thought that this would be an ideal opportunity to make his Easter that little bit more enjoyable.

I know that the National Trust and Cadbury are nationwide companies, yet I was very disappointed to read on the website that the only location left off the list was Scotland. I know that The National Trust does have properties in Scotland, but are not going to use them for the sake of some family-orientated fun.

How do I break the news to my five year old son that he will have to spend his Easter indoors, eating a chocolate egg which was made by a company who don’t care about the population of Scotland? A nation which, for a five year old, he is fiercely proud of.

I shall be seeking recompense from both parties for this unforgivable error.

Yours faithfully

Sent on behalf of a friend.

This letter was sent to both Cadbury and The National Trust. Neither of them had the balls to respond to this letter. You'll note that this year, they've decided to have several Easter Egg Trails in Scotland. Bastards.
