Ordinary Gweilo

The SCMP likes to think it is a serious important newspaper.  In truth it’s a local newspaper that prints lots of agency stories.

Here’s one of the letters published in today’s ‘Talkback’ about a matter of great international concern (subscription required):

I would like to complain about the poor service of Plaza Hollywood ParknShop.

My wife bought a number of items on January 17 and asked that they be delivered to our home. However, the days passed and still there was no delivery.

On a number of occasions we called the store but nobody answered. On four occasions, we actually went to the store and were given different explanations each time we approached a member of staff.

We were told they had the wrong address, that nobody answered at the address and that the delivery vehicle had broken down.

Finally, on January 23 the goods arrived. I do not believe I should have had to wait for so long, six days, for the delivery of my shopping.
