Husband's surprise gesture goes wrong
Accrington Observer
|May 23, 2025
A HUSBAND tried to surprise his wife with a romantic gesture only to discover their hotel bed covered in CRISPS - after a miscommunication with staff.
Rachel Norman, 36, from Accrington and her husband Johnnie, 35, went out in Blackpool, to celebrate her birthday and he secretly asked hotel staff to put 30 assorted bags of crisps on the bed while they were out to surprise his crisp-loving wife.
But staff misunderstood, opened the bags, and sprinkled the crisps on the sheets like salty confetti.
