Another thing happened today that questioned whether America is a bright as it’s always said it was.
Last Thursday I went along to the post office to send a birthday present to my son Damian.
I had purchased an original print of Porsche 718 spyder from California. When I ordered it, I requested it sent direct to my son, just to save all the messing about. Well that didn’t happen, so it turned up here, hence my need to go to the post office.
I carefully relabelled it with my son’s name and address in bold at the top, and my address at the bottom.
I handed it over to the post man, he stamped it, then I went on my merry way.
Over the weekend I thought that it must be wending it’s way across the Atlantic.
What a surprise I had when the postman delivered it back to me.
It had taken three days to travel two bloody miles for the cost of three gallons of bloody petrol!
I showed it to Kelli, and the first thing she said was” Oh you got the order of the address wrong, you should have put who it was from at the top, and who it goes to at the bottom “
“So the fact that I had “TO” and “FROM” meant nothing” I answered sarcastically.
So now I have to go back to postman Pat and straighten the whole thing out.
Another Lifetime to go
