Photo of a TeabagHE was once hailed as a hero for tackling an armed robber at the Co-op store he worked in, but now James Alden has been fired from that same store – for using the wrong tea bags. What a bastard.

The 47-year-old maverick took the posho Twinings Lady Grey bags instead of the Co-op store’s shitty-own Fairtrade brand from the shop floor to make tea in the staff canteen.

The cuppa-loving loose cannon was given a warning for the “offence” and was then sacked for another warning for not logging estimated ages of people over 25 buying cigarettes and booze. Hanging’s too good for him.

“I’m flabbergasted,” said the crazy hotshot. “I’ve been a model employee, never late or off sick in 11 years.”
