There's nothing worse than a disappointing breakfast, is there? Well, not in Karen McRobert's book.
After deciding to treat herself to a Morrisons breakfast bap, for the princely sum of £3, she was gutted to find that the results were not quite what she was expecting - even going so far as to say she'd been 'ripped off'.
So does the Bellshill Morrisons in Lanarkshire have a lot to answer for? Well, Karen certainly seems to think so - in fact, she has accused them of 'false advertising'.
She made the schoolboy error of not opening her meal until she got home. After returning from the shops, she unwrapped the tinfoil and found a stale crusty roll, containing hardly any fillings and with a hole in the top.

Furious with her purchase, she took to Facebook for a vent - obviously very unhappy with the fact most of the items she'd expected had been substituted.
Posting on the local Facebook group Bellshill Past and Present page, she wrote: "Got home to find out they had substituted my two link for two square, my two hash browns for two potato scone and half an outsider of greasy fried bread.
"I wasn't told that they didn't have any hash browns or any link sausage either.
"How disappointed was I?

"First of all they didn't have the giant bap to put this in, offered me a roll or toast.
"Then I was told they had no lids for my tub of mushrooms or beans and would wrap them in tin foil.
"She was apologetic but said they had been ordering them and they were not being delivered.
"When I opened up the roll which was wrapped in tinfoil it wasn't even a soft roll. It was so crispy someone had put their thumb through the top of it and burst the roll apart to put butter on it."

She shared some pictures of the sad roll, alongside what was actually advertised so people could see the comparison.
She added: "If I had known all of this I wouldn't have bothered. I'd have gone elsewhere to a local shop rather than a corporate company falsely advertising things that they don't actually have - ripping people off."
The butty/barm/bap/roll/muffin is advertised as seven inches across and is packed with two rashers of bacon, two hash browns, two sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, a fried egg and grilled tomato.

Moral of the story: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER.
A spokesperson for Morrisons told LADbible: "We're sorry that this breakfast bap was not right. We've invited Karen to come in today for a free breakfast and to collect some complementary vouchers."
