Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2024 — Madam Vice-President.

20th October, 2024: Madam Vice-president.

It’s officially official: it’s not just Evri that get deliveries wrong!

I was due a delivery, yesterday: from Amazon.

Some new bedsheets, and jogging bottoms, so you know.

What I got … ?

Was some shampoo, and toothbrushes.

As it turned out, the driver had delivered my package to a flat over the road: and their package to me.

I’m thankful the couple were in: as it meant I could wonder over and swap packages.

But?

You can bet I sent Jeff Bezos an email!
