Due to the fact that I bought EVERYTHING for Christmas off the internet I'm constantly getting these notes from the Parcel Force or the Royal Mail. This, however, was from somewhere else. I knew immediately what it was. And it was gonna be a big box.
Of course I immediately called the number on the card. The recording instructed me to call back the next business day if the note was received that same day.
Okey dokey and I hung up.
The next morning after minnie me went to school I phoned up again. The conversation went something like this:
Me: hello, i'm calling about a failed delivery attempt
Lady on phone: what does the card say that was left for you?
Me: Ahh, it says there was a delivery attempt made yesterday.
LOP: It says here the package was left for you. Does it say that on the card?
Me: It says Bunker but my last name is Warren, not Bunker.
LOP: It says here the package was left in the bunker.
Say what? I'm no expert but I was under the impression that, and correct me if I'm wrong, bunkers hadn't been constructed since World War II. So how would we have a bunker at or near our home?
I went outside and searched for a bunker. I had no idea what a bunker was supposed to look like. I had images of men dressed in camouflage with machine guns, hiding out in a ditch around our home.
I looked in our empty flower pot. Negative.
I walked around to the back of the house. Negative.
I turned and looked at our little shed that holds our garbage cans.
"Nah. That can't be a bunker."
I opened the little door anyway and guess what I found? A very BIG box and a small box. I would have called it a "shed" but obviously we speak a different language here.
Of course we had the worst rain storm EVER the night before and the box was completely wet but i'll save that for another time :)
