Police were called to a shop because of a complaint about a Christmas mug in a shop window.
Staff at Ginger Whites in Rhiwbina, Cardiff, were stunned when officers came in to investigate one of their products.
The complaint was made about a mug which has a picture of Santa and holly with the words 'Oh b******s it's Christmas' written across it.

The shop is run by Clare Powell and her partner Jason.
Following the visit they posted a picture of the mug on Facebook with the comment: 'We had the Police in the shop today, Ginger Whites, due to a complaint being made about our B******s Christmas mugs.
'Absolutely gobsmacked as to why anyone would waste police time over this.
Seriously, put your time to better use!'
Clare, 48, said she was annoyed that the offended person didn't voice their complaint to them.
She added: 'What gripes is that someone went to the police instead of just talking to us. I don't understand why they would waste the police's time.
'They are not visible to children because they are on high shelf, at adult eye level. I said to the police it doesn't say anything like s*** or f***.
'We do have items like that but we wouldn't put them in the window.'

The mug has been on sale, without problems, in previous years and is one of the shop's top sellers.
The response from customers has, apparently, been one of exasperation.
'People think it is a lot of b******s!', Clare joked.
'No action was taken by the police and they didn't tell us to take it down. They just let us know a complaint had been made.'
There is now only one of the popular mugs left in the shop - which remains on display in the window.
