One of my Christmas cards was delivered yesterday. The absurdity of it all is that it's the one that was meant to travel the shortest distance (addressee's flat is ten minutes away on foot).
It was marked "Missent to Guyana". No other explanation or apology.
I'd sent it to my friend Guy. See? 'Guy' / 'Guyana - an easy mistake that anyone would make, surely.

I will keep the envelope for you. Amazing it went all the way to Guyana on a 2nd class stamp and back!

It's a familiar story - I once had a package from America which eventually came to me after going to Ukraine first! UK / Ukraine - they're almost the same, aren't they?!

Or Guy Anna as he's known on the circuit.
