Reminds me of a parcel I never received in the FI. Aunt sent fruit cake, toothpaste odds and sods, flown crab air as far as poss, dropped in oggin abeam grey funnel line, picked up and after separation for various seaborne units placed in another dry wrapper for onward transmission.
Nearly reached me but someone realised Atlantic Conveyor was sunk and thoughtfully re-addressed back to blighty! It hung around a while to catch northbound bateau and was finally delivered via MOD etc to the front door about the time I reached Stanley by bemused Postie deciphering various addresses.
Memsahib knowing AC sunk but not my whereabouts thought the worst - personal effects – opened now ripe parcel. After peeling back the fourth layer the sight of mixed cake, toothpaste and seawater was enough to gash it – pity really Auntie made a fine cake!!
