Never upset a 7-year-old.
She tells BuzzFeed News she's a big fan of Batman, Superman, Spider Man, Wonder Woman and she loves The Flash TV series. She says:
She spotted the sign before I did and pointed it out to me by indignantly saying something like, "Well that's wrong! Anybody can like superheroes, they're being stupid aren't they?"
Tesco told BuzzFeed News: "This alarm clock would make a great gift for both girls and boys. The sign has been removed and we're sorry if it caused any confusion."
Fortunately it doesn't seem to have put her off - as well as superheroes she loves Doctor Who, Minecraft, dragons, skeletons and zombies (she had a cemetery cake for her birthday!) but also likes Frozen, princesses, kittens etc. She just thinks shops labelliing toys for boys or girls is silly: "I can like what I want."
Maggie's mum tells BuzzFeed News that Tesco has confirmed the sign will be removed. She says: "I asked if it would be in all stores but they haven't yet replied." BuzzFeed News is still attempting to ascertain if this will be the case.
