Fishing for compliments: @Sainsburys and @TeaandCopy fish puns
On 10 January, 2014, Marty Lawrence (@TeaandCopy) tweeted Sainsbury's with a fish pun. David from Sainsbury's replied. And so it began...Just a hilarious conversation, or is there something fishy about the discussion that makes you think it was a PR stunt? We can't hake up our minds.
I tried to buy some battered fish from @sainsburys but it didn't have a bar cod!

.@sainsburys I don't think it's necessary to scale the shelves, David. There's no point doing it for the halibut. You might pull a mussel.

.@sainsburys Something dolphinately needs to be done about it. The quicker we sort it out the batter. Before the situation gets cray. Marty.

@TeaAndCopy Agreed, we mustn't shark the issue. Salmon should be brought to account for this mis-hake. David.

@TeaAndCopy It's ok, just needs sorted quickly. I'll get my skates on & scallop down there now. Can't be leaving you in the perch. David.

@TeaAndCopy It's important these things don't slip the net. Things could be a shoal lot worse if we don't get on our pike & fix it. David.

.@sainsburys Try not to be so koi, David. It's easy to get hooked and then feel out of your depth. I wait with baited breath for your reply.
