Saw this and it reminded me of someone but can't think who

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-15-forces-Tesco-change-labelling-orange.html

Albert, who is studying for his GCSEs at Whitstone School, saw the mistake on the £1 carton of orange juice one morning last month.
The label read: 'Only the best quality fruit makes the grade for our juices. We squeeze or press it only when it's perfectly ripe and at its most tastiest.'

In his anger at the use of redundant language, Albert marched to his local branch of Tesco to confront the management - but decided it might be more prudent to write to the company instead.
He also sent a letter to his local newspaper, saying: 'I am writing concerning an issue I have had with the very popular supermarket chain, Tesco.
'There is a grammatical error on one of their products, and this has affected me greatly.
'I woke up on Thursday morning a few weeks ago, thinking it would be like any other. I sat down at the table for breakfast like normal, and picked up the Tesco orange juice.
'It was then that I noticed it said "most tastiest" when describing the fruit on the side of the carton. Of course, this could be either "most tasty" or simply "tastiest" but to say "most tastiest" is just wrong.
'I was so astonished by this error - especially as Tesco is such a large company - that I almost started pouring the orange juice on to my Weetabix.
'My mum stopped me just in time, and shared my shock when I showed her the side of the carton.'

Well obviously thinks they are articulate, has impeccable grammar and photogenic

more from the article

After writing to Tesco, he said, 'For the next few weeks I rushed home after school, beside myself with the anticipation of a receiving a reply.
'But every day I came home to a doormat with only the occasional leaflet urging me to buy this furniture or those clothes, but nothing from Tesco.
'I was devastated the mighty supermarket chain hadn't even acknowledged my existence.'
Finally the firm replied, apologising for the mistake and promising not to repeat it in future.
'I'm sorry that there's a grammatical error on our Tesco Pure Smooth Orange Juice packaging,' a spokesman told Albert, who hopes to study medicine at university.
'Our design team checks all packaging very carefully before it's used on any of our products, and we carry out regular reviews, but apparently we overlooked this mistake. I've told our team about this and they will correct the error when the packaging is reprinted.'
The schoolboy said: 'I was happy to have a letter back, but a little bit disappointed because it didn't say more and I didn't get any vouchers - but I'm pleased with the result.'

I bet he gets beaten up a lot. And I'm not an unkind man, but with an attitude like his, he should do.

Adding in a completely irrelevant piece of information, absolutely TEXTBOOK Daily Mail.

Looks like a young Arnold Judas Rimmer (Chris Barrie).

Complete spanner, I bet he wears pants still. Y fronts ironed by his mum.

I hope someone at school punched him for being a complete dick.

That made me laugh, but I don't know why certain people are so bothered with a tongue-in-cheek letter by a 15 year-old boy.

Because he should be out drinking, shagging and listening to music, rather than picking holes in the wording of fruit juice cartons.

Maybe
