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.

Does anyone in the house or regular visitors have a car with the reg KOC or KMW?

Loiuse199 there was thread a few week ago when someone found a charcoal sketch of what looked like 2 naked bodies with some plain frames under their bed when clearing the house in readiness to move away. Total mystery as to how they got there and who drew them. I never found out what happened in the end. One of the objects in the sketch was named Rachel.
stucknoue google search reveals that, indeed, there are a lot of cleaning businesses named Katrina (I just looked )

Bet it was posted years ago (what was the envelope and stamp like and postmark?)

Could have been ment for a previous occupant of the house?.

Nothing to do with the band "Katrina and the waves"

Did a little googling and looking up acronyms on Urban Dictionary. Seems to be a complaint about loud sex coming from your house and lasting a long time before results occur.

Check the post date on the envelope, could be something like this maybe?

Stand outside your house tomorrow and yell Katrina - (in the manner of Bianca yelling Riccccckkkkkky on Eastenders)

As you bellow Ka-treeeeeeeeee-na hopefully someone will appear and say "What?"

Not that I want to undermine the fun sleuthing going on here, but this is the kind of incoherent thinking that my DM would come out with when experiencing a psychotic episode. I suspect that any meaning that this letter has is solely in the mind of the mentally unwell person who wrote it.

Interestingly, the name Katrina means pure. Maybe Katrina is a woman scorned?!

Alternatively, it’s to someone who collects feathers and has a sister called Katrina. One for you and one for Katrina! From an elderly grandmother who has lost her marbles and sent the letter to the wrong address.

Although I prefer the sleuthing answers tbh

It's a kinky message.

These feathers are being sent to tickle your fancy, so to speak. The (male) writer is explaining they are not being sent for the purposes they would have been in WW1, although if they'd been used for the writer's intended purpose perhaps there would have been less fighting. No idea who Katrina might be but he clearly thinks he knows her.

I don't think the writer is elderly. Late middle age maybe.

Looks like you might have a rather seedy admirer.

OP hasn’t been back yet, has she?

We need your thoughts on all this, OP 🤔

Does anyone in the house or regular visitors have a car with the reg KOC or KMW?

Ooh good shout Miss Marple. Well OP, where have you gone? we need to know 😩

@LadyFlumpalot so weird that you've linked that, I used to live off of Penn Hill! 😱

@Branster I am even further intrigued. Did the OP never find out what it was about? I quite council but I think all these mysteries are related to affairs! This is my kind of thread - I must keep my eye out for more!!

OK, [applies detective skills....]
they are sending the feathers as a weird joke as if they are to use for sensual self-pleasuring - they don't seem to have promised to send them, so they are explaining it's not like white feathers in the war - then they make an off-the-cuff joke observation along the 'make love not war' idea.

So they are either "both for you" (I assume it's a sexual partner sending them to a woman) [or a pervy voyeur sending to eg a neighbour they are obsessing about] or one for you and one for....

then that's the very weird part - why would there be a third person? Maybe KMW and KOC are both fantasy alter-egos for the recipient..... but then why make two joke-like interpretations of what the initials stand for...…. and they sound like in-jokes - maybe acronyms used somewhere they both go …….

Nope. Maybe there's a Katrina on Mumsnet who can de-code it for us!

I think it could be something totally innocent. Friends planning to do some crafting / kids’ project / ‘in’ joke. Posts note through wrong door.

That letter reads like one of those paragraphs created on your phone by pressing the middle button. No idea at all what it means or who it's for.

I’m not sure if someone’s mentioned this, I did RTFT but I could have missed it.
My DGF had dementia and used to bring various gifts/post things through our door. He also referred to police as army people so I think maybe could be an older person that’s got slightly confused maybe? Odd anyway!!

Katrina is an alter ego of one of your neighbours OP.....Katrina is a 'show girl' who dances with a feather boa to 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina and the Waves).These 2 feathers have fallen/been plucked/taken out of her boa by her admirer at her last show who has tracked her down and realises her day job is a cleaner. He has suggested he knows her two lives (hence the 2 feathers)
He's making his first (creepy) move.
Who is a cleaner on your street OP?

Pleasuring yourself with a feather isn't kinky, it's erotic.

Using the whole chicken - that's kinky.

And probably renders it unsuitable for using for three days' worth of meals for six.

There's an old Russian film about fetishes where one guy sticks feathers onto a papier mâché chicken head then pleasures himself until someone kills him by dropping a rock on his head in a quarry. There's probably a Katrina in it. Probably not that though

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There once was a woman called Katrina. For short they called her Kat, and she walked up the post office steps.

This is a mystery

Nooooooooooooo 😫😫😫😫

Someone in your house (I think you are the intended recipient as why would you get the wrong house if you’re delivering it personally) is having an affair with the cleaner (work cleaner/home cleaner)

I once had a weird note like this and it was sent by someone with MH problems.

I called the police about it tbh as it unsettled me.

This is also unsettling because of the talk of bloodshed and the slightly sexual references.

Turned out with my note, a lot of other women in the area had one. The police took it very seriously....they asked me a lot of questions about men I'd met locally in recent weeks....

Do you live next door or on the same street as Boris Johnson did until recently?
