My brother has a significant birthday coming up. I thought it would be interesting to get him a newspaper from his date of birth (1970s) but because he was born on a Sunday they turned out to be really expensive. So I settled on a framed copy front page of a birthdate newspaper instead. I ordered it online and didn’t see the page before it arrived today. It’s a tabloid and the main headline, covering almost all the front page, is about a woman who had had a secret mastectomy.
Obviously this is not quite what I was anticipating! I think my brother would see the funny side, not that mastectomies are funny, but that it’s not quite what I had intended. But I can’t see him wanting to put it up in his house, so it’s a bit of a pointless gift really. I don’t think I can get a refund because it’s a personalised item. Would you still give it?
