I don't belieeeeeve it!!

Post by BC Wench »

I’m sending a parcel to Berlin by courier…. he arrives…..gives him the parcel…..says he “have you got a copy of the invoice, as I need it to go with the parcel”…. Says I “well it doesn’t say that on the instructions which I received by email and I don’t particularly want my personal details such as phone number, email address for all and sundry to see”…. says he “well where is Berlin?”…. I looked at my Ken, we’re both gobsmacked and shaking our heads and saying “it’s in Germany”….. courier says “are they in the EU?”. Words fail you at times don’t they?

I’m still gobsmacked and no, before there are any witty remarks, the courier wasn’t Scottish, he had a Geordie accent. :wink:

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

As long as it's not the courier who picked it up that has to deliver it in Berlin you're okay - I hope!

Rob, nobody knows what a female means when she stares at you and says, "Typical!".

Luckily, the courier was taking the parcel to Kent, where then it's forwarded on to Germany by another company, I hope.
