Groom explodes in tailor's shop in Birmingham after being told his wedding suit wouldn't be ready

A VIDEO has gone viral of a groom claiming to be an HMRC employee hurling abuse at shopkeepers because his wedding suit won't be ready in time for his big day.

The unidentified man is seen turning irate when he's told that the £500 Sherwani jacket will take longer than two weeks to be made.


The incident took place at Shimmers tailors in Handsworth, Birmingham, and the groom is heard saying: "I work for f***ing HMRC, I know their closet business is dissolved, I know their surname' as staff tried to wrestle the stolen goods from him.

"We have people waiting on this road! You lot have f***ing had it."

He yells: "[We] paid £500 for two outfits. I get a phone call two weeks ago saying they can't do my reception outfit because they ain't got the fabric so they f****d me up on that.

"Now she says I got my Gurudwara one, the Sherwani [suit] but it was the wrong colour and the stitching was sh*t."

The groom continues: "At the end of the day, I've been messaging her. And then she says: 'No, it ain't going to be done in twelve days'. I've got my f***ing wedding in two weeks. These f***ers are p***ing me off."

Claiming to be an HMRC employee, the groom threatens to close down the business if they retaliate.

Although the shopkeepers offer to give him a refund, the groom swipes other items of clothing as revenge.
