He did the munch, he did the monster munch.

Yet, more happy posting stories....

First up Dave's side of the story....

First up: Monster Munch. Buy 1 packet at bargain price from Students' Union shop; attach address label with Phil's address. Like Minstrels, they were too thick for 1st Class Letter post so I had to add up the stamps a bit, fortunately having the right combination to hand.

And straight away I ran into a problem. Stamps don't stick to Monster Munch packets. Oddly, Supaglue, which sticks enthusiastically to absolutely anything, usually one's fingers, also doesn't stick stamps to Monster Munch packets. Fortunately, our old friend Sellotape saved the day.

I stuck the label and stamp on the back, so as not to deface the carefully-crafted artwork on the front of the packet, but then it occurred to me the postman would probably pick up the packet, think it was rubbish and throw it away. So I stuck another label on the front saying "PTO".

Second problem: Monster Munch packets don't fit through normal-sized letter box slots. So I had to go to the bigger letter box outside the now-shut-down Post Office. It was touch-and-go, and at one point I thought the bag was going to burst, but after some fiddling, in they went.

Now... My side of the story.


Just in time for breakfast arrived a 'Big Eat' packet of Flamin' Hot Monster Munch, and too my surprise the packet was not burst and the contents, despite being slightly crushed, still resembled Monster Munch!

I have one or two things up my sleeve which I will put into action and forward onto Dave asap.
