Why didnt anyone tell me that it would take me 3 1/2 hours to pick up a parcel .....??
I had heard the stories, but thought it couldnt really be that bad, could it ??
Anyway i had no choice last week, but to collect an urgent delivery of teabags from the UK
It was a 5 hour round trip, with 300+ people in line before me.........OMG !!
finally at 6pm that night, after kids were picked up from school an hour late, i drank the most amazing cup of tea...
Tea £10
postage from uk £18
motorway tolls $40
Parking $50
Customs tax $50
storage tax $10
Bottle of water $20
Total- An ARM AND A LEG
Not forgetting to mention the journey home............
I went the 'back' way through Retiro and past all of the lorries and containers....yes I know........the bit where there are no lanes and everyone drives like crazy
I had to stop at lights, and my car was clearly identified as having a single female in it, with a dirty windscreen !! So some guy started to clean the windscreen, and then so did his friend. I didnt have any money left after my day, so i shouted BASTA BASTA, NO TENGO DINERO 10 times...... the lights turned to green and 2 very sad men decided to lie across the bonnet of my car hanging onto the windscreen wipers. It was all in good spirit, but none the less, i still had no money, a dirty windscreen after it had been cleaned, and 2 men on my bonnet.
What would you do...?? yes i carried on driving...they both kind of slid off....into the 10 lanes of traffic that they had managed to single me out from
I love BA
