I think it just brings down the name of such a good quality establishment like Tescos - I mean, they don't want to be competing for the same pyjama-wearing scummy customers as Asda - that is unthinkable.

Why is that particular sentence ironic? I'm a 24 year old full time mother of two, so does that make me ridiculous and pathetic

Sorry if I've taken it the wrong way

I think the irony there is not the age / how many kids she has - but the fact that she finds Tesco's actions ridiculous and pathetic, when she is going shopping in her jamas, making her the ridiculous pathetic one.

All clear

Yep you missed it by a mile

The irony being her describing a ban on shopping in PJs "ridiculous and pathetic".

You couldn't make it up! Oh how the UK is slowly changing; there is an old saying that the cream rises to the top; but that can only happen if there is some "cream" in the mix! That women should be strelized so that she can not have anymore kids - future generations can avoid the issues that her gene pool will create!

Sterilization to protect the gene pool eh? I agree; they should also be rounded up and put into special camps so that the middle and upper classes won't have to look at them.
