First I thought it was an early Christmas card for 2011, but then I saw an official message on the back of the envelope which read something like, "Due to the inadequate postage, this letter has arrived to you in a different form of transportation"!
"Different form of transportation"? What the hell were they talking about, different form of transportation. Someone could have swam the channel and walked all the way from there to Switzerland backwards and still it wouldn't have take 4 months for it to get here. It normally takes 3 days when I post something to the UK from Switzerland.
That was a classic. I have the envelope somewhere. It was too funny to throw it away.
But one only walks backwards to Christmas across the Irish Sea.
