What does it take to turn one perfectly packaged letter into a papier-mache mush?
- One perfectly packaged envelope, posted to the wrong address
- One hand-delivered attempt to rectify the problem
- One idiot (me) leaving it in a friend’s house in London by accident
- One attempt by said friend to forward the mail on a rainy day
- One postal strike
- Four weeks later
That is how you turn a perfectly packaged letter into a papier-mache mush.
I might have just as well just had it posted to the correct address in the first place, put it in a blender with the rest of the ingredients for a banana smoothie, hit ‘Turbo’ then pour after a month.
It might not have been so bad if the contents hadn't been electronic.
Ahhh the Royal Mail never ceases to fill me with a sense of pride… That’s quite an impressive amount of damage in four weeks : )
