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 know Margaret and Tony. This is an odd situation but you must believe me. I have a relative who drinks. I needed wine for Christmas and don't want it delivered to mine in case my relative opened the box and found the booze. Margaret and Tony are my best friends . They wanted to help me out therefore Margaret and Tony ordered the wine for me and it must have come to yours.

Please give me your address and I will come and collect it
Sincerely yours

@user1495884620
Yes you are close to the type of address. And weirdly you have also correctly identified the name of my dog!

Wouldn’t Princess Margaret send whisky not wine?

Tony and Margaret live next door to Janet and Roy and are besties with them.

And also isn't she dead?

@RockinDobbin ! 😂😂

My mum and dad have some very old friends called Margaret and Tony maybe it's from themXmas Shock

Does anyone else think that Mammy might be in jail? I wonder what she did...

insiwinsi · 16/12/2020 14:36

if i was you I would contact the courier that sent it and ask them to find out!

Itstheprinciple · 16/12/2020 14:36

I think it might be meant for Janet and Roy

ApolloandDaphne · 16/12/2020 14:49

So the rather boring update is that the wine did indeed come from BIL just with the wrong message on. I rather hope the message sticker-on-er has been one message out of synch for while and everyone is getting a mysterious message!

I agree. Witty, warm and fun posters. None of the petty sniping and meanness that seems to be on many threads these days. We need more threads like this about random nonsense.

Mammy just killed a man, put a gun up to his head, pulled the trigger, now he's dead. Xmas Grin

I've been giggling reading all the comments from last night and today.
Thank you for the entertaining thread OP!

whatnametopick · 16/12/2020 21:33

Great, now we will never know where mammy is Angry

This is absolutely my favourite thread for ages.

I jusat spat my tea out over the keyboard. Xmas Grin

Doubt Mammy's coming back that quickly if that's what she's done Grin

custardbear · 17/12/2020 20:22

Glad it's sorted!

Sweetpea1532 · 23/12/2020 03:08

It's not sorted at all!!!
Who are these people, Tony, Margaret, and Mammy? And what did the gift card that they received say? @ApolloandDaphne as I'm sure you have nothing to do over the next few days since you've sorted that DBil sent the wine..you MUST get Tony and Margaret their sweet note from mammy...they'll be very worried sick as to what's happened to the old dear
And of course, what about Alice?

Sweetpea1532 · 23/12/2020 03:18

Oh now please disregard my last post...I have the memory of a peanut! I forgot that the note was for Scctt and Viola NOT for Tony and Margaret ...It was FROM them🙄.
This is what I've worked out though, @ApolloandDaphne...you absolutely must find Scctt and Viola so they can send a proper hand written thank you note as per MN rules of etiquette to Tony and Margaret for the lovely gift and kind note mentioning Mammy!

tobee · 23/12/2020 04:30

It's is a very odd note. Still definitely in code. 🤔

Belleende · 23/12/2020 08:59

@travailtotravel isn't it really annoying when you win the thread and NO ONE BLOODY NOTICES.

sueelleker · 23/12/2020 09:43

@Audreyseyebrows

All will be resolved when mammy gets home. Maybe the ghost of Christmas past?

Change your name to Viola and keep the wine.

Laithwaites send me wine, but unfortunately I have to pay for it.

Sorry, that was meant for chocolatepowder
