to ask for help with this cryptic/mysterious letter received today

[BettySundaes]

Correctly addressed to our house. Inside just the brief note, and two feathers. I'm pretty sure it's not meant for anyone here, no return address, very curious about its meaning though.

I thought of loud sex too @sackrifice. Are you a noisy shagger OP?

The first paragraph strongly suggests the writer is very sarcastically accusing someone of cowardice over an affair. Saying white feathers mean cowardice but sardonically noting that maybe it wouldn’t have been a bad thing if all the white feathers in ww1 had been given for shagging not failing to kill.

The second one doesn’t make sense at all, but I think infers that someone called Katrina is involved in / responsible for the affair

Could it be a reference to Hurricane Katrina?

(Just trying to think of things that might ring a bell with OP)

It's a coded message intended for a foreign spy!!!

Run OP! Now that you've seen it you MUST go on the run! (with Liam Neeson or some other gorgeous man as a protector who is a secret agent and you will both end up saving the world!!!)

Too many action movies?

First word of para 2 might be 'Dry'.

Last word might be 'Cloning' rather than 'Cleaning'.

I think the first word of para 2 is just ‘Any’. I think they meant ‘Anyway it’s either both for you or...’ etc, but wrote ‘any’. There’s another error in there with the ‘they’ which should be ‘there’ so maybe it was written in a rush or a bit carelessly.

Sounds threatening to me. First paragraph is suggesting cowardice but acknowledging that if the soldiers in WW1 had spent as much time pleasuring then there wouldn't have been as much bloodshed. The second para is suggesting the feathers are either both for the recipient or one for recipient and the other for KMW or KOC. That's my take on it.

Not very nice at all! I do, however, think the note was delivered to the wrong household. Hang onto it in case you get any more; you could ask neighbours if they have any ideas.

Other than the white feathers from ww1 meaning cowardice, this started in 1914, I cant find any meaning to green feathers?!
I also read pleasuring rather than pleasing...weird!

I think someone has lost the plot! Off to the bin they go!!

The band is Katrina and the Waves so makes waves alluding to somebody causing trouble. Could the writer be Katrina?

My overactive imagination has concluded that the note was sent to the wrong address by an OW. The feathers are saying that the man of the house should have pleasured himself rather than find another woman, who he promised to leave his wife/partner for, who but has backed out. So the woman is making waves by sending the coward flowers.

Goes off to look up Katrina and the Waves songs....

Feathers not flowers!

I heartedly agree more wanking = less bloodshed
If only today’s problems could be so easily resolved !
Any neighbors with dementia?

I think it’s all an in-joke that’s gone to the wrong house. First para is saying it’s NOT white feathers and making a lame joke. And the rest presumably explains who the feathers are for.

Last word might be 'Cloning' rather than 'Cleaning'

Oh yes that clears it up!

My Dad received white feathers in WWII by people who didn't know he was refused on medical grounds and despite him taking over someone else's farm so they could go to war.

Was it delivered by Royal Mail addressed to your name?
Feathers are a bit unusual.
Colour of ink is also a bit unusual (reminds of teachers).
Size of paper is not standard either.

I don’t think it’s an old person, not teenager either. Middle aged or a bit older perhaps. Likely to be woman.

Sounds very much like an running in- joke.

But it could also be written by a person with mental problems and meant for a specific person and you received it by mistake.

I really want to know what it all means!

Keep everything in case you get more.

Are you near Bournemouth? I know a Katrina with a military link there.

Next time you see any of your neighbours you have to nod and sagely proclaim 'the eagles will fly high over Blackpool tomorrow' and see if they say something back - other than "eh?" that is. Someone knows what that letter meant.

Or the chicken wears a red beret at midnight.

Wear a mac (coat NOT computer), look straight head but have eyes moving left and right constantly.

It just sounds like a continuation of a conversation had with someone who lives with/knows a Katrina to me - nothing sinister, just a completely out of context message which makes no sense to anyone else. Whereabouts in the country are you? (Roughly, obvs, given that there are some people suggesting it's a spy reference!).

OP, do you have a DH/DP? Maybe it's an unhinged OW trying to blackmail him?

She won’t be able to say Charity, and the powers that be will have changed all the road signs by now anyway.

Jokes aside, I think it might be the feathers themselves that hold the key. Do they look like they’re from birds you might have lovably?

Also, to the PP whose dear daddy was given white feathers .

Creepy.
