A sad tale about two new tubs
October 28, 2014
Dear Sir,
Having finally had power and internet restored after 17 and a half days of “indoor camping”, I’d just like to add my name to the ever-lengthening list of those who think that the Emergency Services have done a brilliant job over the past 2 1/2 weeks, and to share this funny but yet rather sad story.
My daughter, who lives up Rosemont Avenue opposite the Hamilton Princess, had her avocado trees devastated by Fay, and as a result had many more avocados available than she either wanted or needed. As a result, she put two large Rubbermaid tubs full of avocados out on the roadside along with a note to the effect that anyone wanting any avocados could help themselves. Someone sadly took the invitation too literally, and took the tubs as well! As a result, some lucky sod has two big new tubs with no lids while my daughter has two big lids with no tubs, and she would very much appreciate the said tubs being returned from whence they were, ah, “borrowed”.
