Who the fuck is this wine for?

So we got some wine delivered today. I assumed it was a Christmas gift from BIL. Here is a picture of the message. The only thing that is slightly right is the name at the beginning but nothing else matches our family. Who sent us this? Give me your best guesses??

I'm guessing it was Margaret and tony

An elaborate round robin wind up?

It is from Margaret and Tony. We don't know a couple called Margaret and Tony. Our address is fairly niche which is weird.

Perhaps something to mull over ... (gets coat)

Regift?

Santa messed up?

We only have one set of neighbours. That is not their names. We live a bit rurally and have few neighbours.

Margaret or Tony has the neatest handwriting I've ever seen.

Is your name anything like Viola? Could it be a work colleague? It's addressed to Scott only so whoever they are knows him but not you.

Is it good wine anyway?

slipperywhensparticus · 15/12/2020 22:10

Have you googled your niche address? You would be surprised just how common it can be

JemimaTiggywinkle · 15/12/2020 22:10

Could you contact the company? Maybe they sent it to the correct address but messed up with the wrong gift message?

mnahmnah · 15/12/2020 22:10

How long have you lived in your house? Could it be previous owners?

Without outing myself I can tell you our surname is Scott. That is the only thing that could link this to us.

Why did you accept the delivery of it was addressed to someone named Scott but not your surname?

We are the third owners. I know the names of the previous two. We have lived here for 9 years.

I'd hazard a guess that Mammy has Irish roots.

I have nothing to add on this but must say that your nails are gorgeous. So often you see people posting with really bad manicures, inflamed cuticles, shapes that are too big for their hand etc. These really are lovely.

I accepted it because it wouldn't be unusual for my BIL to have sent us wine for Christmas.

Thank you. I just had them done yesterday.

It’s definitely mine. I’ll send my address.

Seriously though, how strange. I would contact the company.

It says FAO D Scott which is my DH.

I think Jemima has it - they either mixed up the addresses, or mixed up the notes.

Though I'd love to know who Scott and Viola are!

I wonder if they have mixed up the messages. DH will message BIL tomorrow and ask.
