I went to the shop yesterday, bought it, packed it up nicely, and took it to the post office by the airport this morning.
Waited patiently for number to be called. Eventually got to the counter, and handed over the package. He examined the package very carefully, and eventually asked where it was going. I told him it was going to Wales. He thought about it for a while, and asked if Wales was in England.
I replied that Wales was in the UK.
He thought a bit longer, and then tapped away on his computer. Ah yes, Wales is in the Ukraine
.I then replied that Wales was part of the United Kingdom.
A further pause, more key tapping and the guy says so Wales IS in England.
I asked if Thailand was in Malaysia, to which he said no. I then said again, Wales is not in England, it is next door.
At this point, a female assistant arrived, and sorted everything.
I just thought it hilarious that he was asking, and I was giving plain answers, certainly not trying to trip him up. He just couldn't comprehend there was a country called Wales. Surely, I can't be the first person who has tried to post a parcel to Wales.
