I can't speak for the first part, but for the later almost anyone who knows you or knows of you!  ;D ;D

Can't say. I only describe, never prescribe.

But I was only asking for an opinion, not a prescription.

While I suspect Nobby, it might have been a mistake.

Mrs Orcs ordered a cushion for out garden bench. When it arrived the DPD courier said " Here is your parcel plus one for Free"

Mrs Orcs " I have only ordered one thing"

DPD man " It has your address label stuck to it so I can drop it off here"

Mrs Orcs "What is it"

DPD man " I don't know but its for France and it will take me ages to sort it out back at the depot, It has your address label on it so I can leave it here"

Which is what he did, and promptly went.

On further examination it was from a company in Germany for a person in France, and it was one of these

So we now have to email German company and tell them to collect it or we will dispose of it   ( I will mention that we in Great Britain have  had more than our fill of unwanted metal  objects "dropped off" here by Germans  ;D)

And you believe him ?????

You could set up a poll on the Forum with the options being all the suspects. They could then be "judged by their peers". Once the vote has ended and Nobby the one with the most votes must be guilty.

Come now, It's fairly obvious to even a casual observer that the Runcornian Ministry of External Affairs, Welsh desk, have their heavily manured manicured fingers all over this.

Nobby will either be cleared or found guilty, once my friend 'Neeraj', at Amazon, has done her investigating.

Anyone want to plead guilty now ? (It'll be a lighter sentence.) :P

Or shall we run a book ?
For fun only, they'd be........

I've heard back from an Amazon autobot.

I'm either going to end up with the orders being duplicated.....or the person that originally sent them will be getting a big box of plasters and a crepe bandage sent to 'the correct address'.

I can keep the originals though...For the inconvenience caused.

We'll see. X_X X_X X_X
