A woman's fuming Facebook post after sending her husband Clive to buy a leg of lamb in Tesco has become the talk of Ramsbottom.
Rozalia Linder said she was "absolutely mortified" after discovering the price her husband Clive paid for the lamb, which swiftly went viral with likes and shares on Saturday night and became known as "Lambgate" on Ramsbottom forums.
The whole community was gripped by what was going to happen next after Clive's wife left the post fuming at the £30 price of leg of lamb he came back with from their local Tesco supermarket.

Posting a picture of the whole leg of lamb on the public What's On in Ramsbottom forum, Rozalia said: "I sent Clive to Tesco for a leg of lamb… £30.86p!!!…
"Absolutely Mortified at the price!! He did question the price and accepted the answer and paid….. however, I’m not prepared to pay this!!
"Some families don’t even have £30 a week to feed their children …. Something Needs to be done….. I Will be taking this item back to Tesco tomorrow and asking for my money back!!!!!!"
Many echoed her comments that the price of lamb is getting very expensive these days, although many soon saw the funny side of the situation and pondered if poor Clive was now in the dog's house for his purchase.
Many commented that it's not Tesco's fault and that Clive wasn't "held hostage" to pay the price, to which Rozalia saw jokingly responded: "I’ve held him hostage… and he’s being tortured as I type."
Soon local businesses were chipping in with offers of support for Clive, while one resident set up a "CliveAid" gofundme page.
