My mail was tampered with today. I am sure it wasn’t the regular postie that did it because he is a real sweetie so I can only guess it was some back office sorting-elf (or duende) that did it.
I am more annoyed with the sender of the letter than the desperate soul who fiddled with it. A large corporation which is obviously in the throes of a spend-more-money campaign sent me a voucher offer in a window-fronted envelope. Though the voucher is obviously not real money, somebody must have been desperate enough to steam the envelope open with the canteen kettle to get a closer look.
Hellloooo-oh! There’s a recession on numskulls! If you want your stupid junk mail to arrive unmolested don’t make it look like easy pickings.
I may have got similar… €75 adwords? The envelope was open already, but looked like it had never been sealed. I think they just ordered gummed rather than self sealing envelopes.
That would explain why I never get my replies from letters to Sue Barker. I keep asking her to take time off from BBC sport to pop over and share a can of Dorada and a churro with me. Obviously she is replying but the letters are being intercepted by someone at the post office!
Maybe you should stop putting the free pizza vouchers in the letter, Colin. Sue is obviously more a spag bol kind a girl. And churros, well everybody knows all the sugar and hot chocolate is only for the second date!
Not that one Leslie though I did get it. Maybe the mighty Google thought I was talking about them and taking the mickey and that’s why my AS earnings have tanked this week? On he other hand maybe that is their way of making sure that I do use their (very tastefully done) voucher:
