Come Dine With Me meltdown inspires witty letter to graffiti yobs

Angry residents of a property in Hotwells have responded to yobs who daubed graffiti on their house with a note based on a hilarious Come Dine with Me meme.

The occupants were so fed up with the scrawls on the wall of their home at Hotwell Road they responded with a handwritten letter - which references a classic Come Dine With Me moment.

The note which refers to the culprit responsible for the black squiggle 'having all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on' was attached to the wall over the top of it.

The note reads: "Hi there! Thanks for tagging our home.

"I hope it made you happy.

The residents of the house stuck the letter over the graffiti (John Myers)

"Dear lord, what a sad little life.

"You ruined the aesthetic completely so you could make yourself known.

"Take this message along with some lessons in grace and decorum.

"Because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.

"Kindly,

"The residents of 116."

The amusing response references a particular episode of long-running TV show Come Dine With Me in which a contestant did not take kindly to discovering he had finished last.

Peter Marsh's 'iconic' meltdown after missing out on the £1,000 prize money was first aired on Channel 4 on January 4, 2016.

It has had more than one million views on YouTube across multiple uploads, as well as many more on social media.

The piece of TV gold has been widely hailed as the greatest Come Dine With Me moment of all time.

It would appear the owners of this Hotwells property are fans of the show.
