Before Christmas I ordered online a packet of stuff to get rid of blanket weed in my pond. It was very expensive at £17 but blanket weed is ruining my pond. The parcel arrived and i chucked it on a shelf to be used in the spring.
Now the other day i decided to use it and I opened the packet to find a petrol lighter!!
What happened was that my son had ordered the lighter (he has the same christian names as me which is a tradition going back to 1540) and I had assumed it was mine. he did ask me if a parcel had arrived for him but i said no (he complained and got another).
So i thought i would have no chance of getting a replacement owing to the time factor but I emailed the company and they sent me a new packet completely FOC.
The suppliers were Un...s the well know seed company. That deserves a mention i think.
I assume my son will be sending the lighter back.
