Having bought a bunc... Having bought a bunch of chrysanthemums from Morrisons this morning, I was amused ( in an irritating way ) to see a sticker proclaiming Morrisons were awarded "Flower Retailer 2007" On what basis, may I ask??... as I remove almost half of the leaves which are broken at the stems due to mishandling, This was a rare return to buying flowers at Morrisons, having had a number of previous similar disappointments with damaged, or tired flowers, and at least there is a consistancy in the poor standard. So again, I ask, what were the selection criteria for this award ?? |
