A little girl has written to the CEO of Tesco accusing the supermarket of sexism after discovering that only boys’ school trousers had real pockets.

Nine-year-old Eleanor Waterman was very annoyed when she discovered that the school trousers she had chosen from Tesco had fake pockets.

She was so annoyed, in fact, that she wrote a letter to the supermarket’s CEO Dave Lewis expressing her outrage.

Her mum explained that Eleanor had written the letter because she just couldn’t understand why the boys got real pockets, but the girls didn’t.

‘At the start of term, Eleanor put on her new school trousers – bought from Tesco and chosen specifically because they have pockets,’ said Eleanor’s mum Carly.

‘When she put them on and realised the pockets were fake, she was shocked and annoyed.
