Take Two

We’ve had a Royal Mail redirection in place since we moved from our last flat in Stanmore nearly a year ago. It’s mostly been working OK, though occasionally it gets the hiccups and Nadia’s mail is sent to her sister instead (and her mail to us), but at least those letters get to the right addressee in the end.

This last blunder, however, is a bit more of a mystery. We’ve got mail redirected to us from an address we’ve never lived in: we were in 27 Lady Aylesford Avenue, but the redirection is from flat 28. Ok, so somebody might have been a bit chubby-fingered; 7 & 8 are, like, right next to each other. It turned really interesting when I opened the pack and found two letters to a Mrs King in 18 Embryo Drive—a person we don’t know, at an address we’ve never heard of.

There’s only one way I can imagine how this could happen: Someone must have been behind on their workload and decided to just make stuff up to make it seem like they were catching up. Or maybe they were on their last day, or were excruciatingly hung-over, and decided to have a little fun.

By the way, Mrs King, it looks like it’s just spam from Argos. You want it, or should I just throw it away?
