Title: just having a think... what is the funniest thing you ever mailed
Post by: Jeannine on August 22, 2010, 23:49:59
 A comment on another post got me thinking about this and I have to admit I have mailed some odd stuff.

A spinning wheel was the most awkward I think.

Gardening related I think the most recent was a potted tomato plant from here to there with flowers on it, it made it too.

The funniest was probably the small hazel nut  tree that went to Oz in a poster tube.

So come on fess up..

Can't say I have ever mailed anything particularly unusual, but I know what the oddest thing I ever received was....a vegemite sandwich mailed by an ex boyfriend from Australia! Customs had of course opened and sampled it...I presume 'tested' rather than tasted it as it took 3 weeks to arrive! He knew I liked Marmite, but thought I would like to try the Aussie version!

Small Hazelnut tree went to Oz  :o :o Did it arrive at its destination ok Jeannine. Those customs people are usually ace at spotting things like that, or is it just from the UK ;D ;D.
