With Covid Here For Some Time,

more and more people are using the Internet or ordering over the telephone to buy goods,


and of course mistakes will be made, but this is the biggest one I have seen, so far, in the Netherlands it's not unusual to build a garden on one's roof, ready to install a green roof on her shed, Molly Quell ordered some plants, 51 trays as it happens, and a load of gravel to provide them with drainage, and what arrived? 510 square meters of plants! but is was not all bad news, the gravel they wanted was behind the plants on the truck, so they had to be unloaded anyway, the story gets even funnier from there, with quite a bit of swearing in Dutch, You can read the whole story at Twitter or at Threadreader, did I mentioned one truck? I should have said two trucks,

this is what the roof now finished with 51 trays of plants looks like, 51 trays to 510 square meters, if you know of a bigger mistake when ordering, please let me know.
