More labelling stories

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It’s one of the wildflower shrubs we saw on our wildflower trip. I wrote about clothes sizes last post and I have two more examples of false or strange labelling to share with you all. Firstly, we bought a new-to-us car recently. I’ve already written about our Jaguar which we bought for a good price. It has low miles and is a very comfortable car. Vince was going through the manual, and oohing and aahing at all the special features of our ‘luxury’ model. He was a bit put out when he discovered that ‘luxury’ was actually the standard model, and the one with all the special features was the ‘premier’. And did you know that the smallest condom size you can buy is large? Maybe I’ve mentioned that before but I always think it’s very funny. Men and their egos, eh?

Yes, it seems that size really does matter.

The car is really very lovely but there are just a couple of features that the Premier has and ours doesn't. Heated seats is one of the features.

I am dealing with the size just now. I had ordered for those Luvit ecclairs and when they arrived this time I found them to be totally different from what I usually get. They are supposed to be 8 grams but these were less than 5 and no chocolate was ozzing out. I took it up with the suppliers and they readily sent me two more packets and they too were of less then 5 gramss each I sent them a copy of my order and that is when their quality guy admitted they had made a mistake and what do you know they have asked for time and will be sending me 3 packets of the right size. Looks like they are making them specially for me. Evidently they have stopped marketing the 8 gram size but have not alerted the customers which is nothing but cheating I am eagerly waiting for the 3 packets of 8 gram ecclairs which means I will now have a total of 9 packets!!!!

I'm glad you took it up with them and didn't put up with the wrong order.

That was funny! Women's clothing sizes are all over the board. I can wear a small and medium and once in a while an extra small and a large. No wonder I have to try everything on.

I have to try everything on too. It's hopeless thinking a particular size will fit.

I guess no-one wants to buy 'small'! The flowers looked so much better in real life.

Sorry the car does not have the special features. But I think it's still a very nice car.

It really doesn't matter. As you say, it's still a lovely car.
