Just read it, you'll easily be swept along by the currant...

I bet they are discussing this on Mumsnet already.
Thats wrong that is. Ive got some raisins here and that aint no picture of a dried grape on the packet. Its a picture of a raisin. Dried grapes indeed.... Occam's razor!
with shops if all you can see is a picture then the picture should be what you get.
Yet Merlin sent you a disc rotor - I can see why you're upset. If none of the pictures in this thread are any good to you, let me know your e-mail address and I'll send you one. Only £10 and I'll even let you have a picture of an XTR one for that.
I bought some raisins from an arab once, he claimed they were the sultanas of brunei.
I hope there was a picture of said brown eye
This thread is fast becoming my raison d'etre...
That guy who makes his own raisins, does he have a spotted dick?
If I can be serious for a second, OP- I recommend sending them back and ordering some new ones from here [url= http://www.davehinde.com ]Dave Hinde[/url]
😀
I love Merlin even more after this thread. The pictorial explanations are excellent.
Oh, and FWIW I find Merlin give the best explanations out there as to what you are our aren't getting.
Op is the reason why food manufacturers have to write 'serving suggestion' on all their packaging and why bags of nuts and raisins have the warnings of 'may contain nuts'
Bless
Edited to keep in line with the dried fruit
I think the forum should be labelled "contains nuts"
Jamie is the nuts!
What was the question again?
I notice you have 3 stems, all USE for sale, was that purchase also confusing for you?
I have two warped xt rotors as shown in the picture, I'll do you a deal on them!
The sheer stupidity of this thread is astounding.
I could go on, but the words would just be too confusing without pictures.
I'm off to Merlin to look at pictures of things.
In real life, I am.

OP, for you own sake don't shop in Ikea US either:

You're bound to be disappointed.
The OP must have ordered previously from Merlin to get the E Mail so wonder if that was right ?
Merlin's website is one of the clearest around, hope they see this thread and take him off the mailing list.
Oh and don't get on the bus hoping to get some tea bags as it says brook bond on the back
Good to see the cutbacks on education haven't made any difference

'It says sausage[b]s[/b] up there...'
Currantly a contender for thread of the year.
Just read this and cannot believe the op is this stupid. Anyway I seem to have found a childhood picture of the op.

Ever get the feeling natural selection doesn't work sometimes.
what size rotor for 650B?
This is wrong place to ask.
Toymotor thought he'd ordered a 650B for the price of a discontinued 26" anyhoo.
Tell me this is some kind of a wind up thread,please ?!?
Cheered me up no end this thread 🙂 🙂 Please keep baiting/character assassination coming 🙂 Err I mean informed
Buying advice !!
Tell me this is some kind of a wind up thread,please ?!?
This is some kind of wind up thread.
I can empathise with the OP....I once brought a new bed online, I was really angry when the hot girl in the photo never came with it!!!
I have nothing of interest to add. But I feel it's a good time to tell the OP that I've got a brand new 160/180
Xt centrelock disks for half the Merlin price. I'll even send you a pic if you don't believe me.
This made my morning!
This thread needs to be deleted or the title changed though as Merlin could still get bad press because of somebody who cant be bothered to read, but can be bothered to start a full paragraph of rant/bs!
So, @toymotor, you see a TV advert for a car then decide to order one.
Would you expect to get one exactly like the one in the advert, despite asking for the one with left hand drive, automatic, convertible, day-glo orange paintwork, clockwork engine, and zebra print upholstery?
Did you really think that all ten items listed look exactly the same as each other?
May I suggest you surrender your internet licence (you've probably got more than 12 points on it by now)
"Paragraph" would imply there was some sort of structure, cohesion and adherence to basic rules of grammar in what he had written. Though, yes, if he'd have put as much effort into ordering as he'd put into posting then he wouldn't be suffering this pain (aux raisins.)
This is brilliant, so the line is don't read the small print.
WYSIWYG or not get in this case 😯
This is gold.
merlin replied with the pictures for illustration purposes only which isn't on the screen anywhere or in the basket
At least you got a polite and not the draft message they [s]probably[/s] really had to stop themselves sending
A mate of mine has a machine for drying them out and makes his own raisins!
I'm intrigued. Does he also prune his own plums?
We'll need pics to be certain it's true though.
Was just in the super market and thought the OP had started making their own bread, until I realised I had misread the loaves just actually had Thick Cut written on them.

Oh come on, be fair. There's no raisin to abuse the OP.
I had a similar issue as the OP, I once bought a bike, it looked stunning in the picture with a view of Eilean Donan in the background. I bought the bike but imagine my total shock when I went over to see the folks in Eilean Donan and they said the castle was not even for sale and I could not be the new owner, I didn't have the picture with me so had no case to argue.
I was soooo pi55ed off that I broke all the Strava records on the way back home.
It's not just Merlin tho' - I think CRC should get a mention too.
For a while, they (rather curiously) had a photo of single bed / bedroom as a placeholder for stuff they didn't have an actual picture for ...
it says 'shimano centerlock disc rotor' and shows a picture of a centerlock disc rotor. it then delinates this into types of rotor in the product selection.
lets hope he doesnt use dating websites, as you certainly dont get whats in the picture 😆
i feel the OPs pain i bot a santa cruz nomad because the advert had a pikture of a guy doing a masive jump and another of a guy doing a sweet slide round a corner it was suny in both pictures the riders was also over six fute tall
imajin my disapointment when the actual bike ended up being ridden by a 5'4" man with two kids sweting and pufing his way uphil in the rane

what fruit do you dry to get dates? a genuine question from this household last night. Of course, I could have just googled it.
Might have outed himself as a troll as tried the same trick on Retrobike.

I pointed this out 5 mins ago and he's deleted his content.
😐
So much to thank the OP for. Injured my arm Thursday and I was racing this morning, but was still suffering some pain. Then this, first a laugh, then a wheeze the when the smiling cow came up I had a laughing coughing fit.
Anyhoo, took my mind right of the pain.
I ordered one of these the other day

Imagine how deflated I felt when I got her and realised it wasn't a real woman, looked like one from the Picture but knew there was something up when she wouldn't cook my tea.
To be fair to the OP I bought some brakes off him last week and what turned up was exactly what was in his pictures. Just saying like.
