Off topic: Oh, Amazon, you knobbers
Amazon dropped off a cardboard box today containing a couple of rolls of bubble wrap. Can anyone guess what they used to pack out the box with? Can ya? Can ya?
I'm just going outside ...

Simon's winning so far. Not that there's a prize. Unless you want me to send you some bubble wrap? I have loads extra.*

Complaining about the extra free bubble wrap you got with your bubble wrap - new depths of BB grumpiness, surely.

It's an odd one. All my Amazon goods come packaged with twisted paper.

Re: Off topic: Oh, Amazon, you knobbers
There are few depths of BB grumpiness that I will not plumb ... Amazon seem to be getting it together lately with far less excess packaging. Gone seem the days of a huge box filled with poly beans to protect a book. But bubble wrap by its very nature doesn't need to be protecting. Was just saying.

Wasn't a dig from me. Forgot the or or whatever.
Re: Off topic: Oh, Amazon, you knobbers
I remember the time when we got a massive box with basically a stick in it (it was one of those extendible washing line holderuperers) and a vast amount of packaging to stop it bouncing around inside the box. It was't that long after that Amazon announced that they'd be a) using a much wider range of box sizes and b) using software to tell the picker which box size to use.
Re: Off topic: Oh, Amazon, you knobbers
Perhaps you could return the bubble wrap you ordered for a refund, but in a slightly smaller box... .
May you always have tail wind.
