Don’t know if this is worth a thread, but is it just me or are the commemorative mugs- with your name on one side and a list of ‘The 56’ (Tm) on the other side- utter reprehensible and tasteless beyond words? £2 goes to the Burns Unit, so fair play but fuck me. I can just hear the conversation at breakfast, “Do you want a coffee in your big I❤️Coffee mug, or the one with 56 fire victims’ names on it?”

I’ll keep my cash until some enterprising young buck knocks out the key rings and mousemats.

In essence why not just give the full cost of the mug to the burns unit and remember the awful day in a more dignified way. Honestly i thought Hoodies were bad but this.

The ad is on the Bradford City Fan Page on Facebook, I’m useless so don’t know how to make a link from there, and don’t seem to be able to paste a photo in, sorry.

Imagine having your dead relative’s name printed on the side of a mug for someone to make a few bob? Even if £2 of it goes to charidee it’s a poor show is that.

This needs to be questioned on twitter, it's actually appalling.

£5.
Who’s selling these cos I just checked and that’s standard rate for any personalised mug, including an element of profit for the producer and vendor.

Of course, the relatives of the dead were asked about this first, weren't they?
I mean, no way could you be so unbelievably stupid as to not do that...

This needs to be questioned on twitter, it's actually appalling. Someone on the twitter needs to do that, the fact money goes to the Burns Unit does not justify such ghoulish tat. And that illustration of the football lad with his head bowed... It's like covering a turd with chocolate sprinkles. What next - sparkling glitter gin glasses? Stationery sets? Matching pillow and duvet set?

Someone ask on the twitter if there's any proof the money actually goes to the Burns Unit. I'm cynical it does.
