Maybe they were actually away and had it redelivered somewhere else?
Oh and I love the accent thing, my best friend does the partridge, patronising plumbers and the like by going all cockney when he's a posh kid from wimbledon.
And my dad decided to have an American accent after he got tired of them saying "oh you're English, do you know princess Di?" And other stupid questions.
Parcelforce man comes round yesterday. "I have a parcel for your neighbour, but they're not in, would you take it for them?"
SURE THING, I tell him, and take the parcel in. I try the neighbours later but don't get an answer. Ok, so I'll try tomorrow! We can do this neighbourly thing!
Parcelforce man comes back this morning. "Can I have the parcel back? They want it redelivered". Whut. Ok, um, here you go.
They'd rather phone Parcelforce to complain that their parcel was left with their next door neighbour, and order the delivery driver to come back and carry it from my house to theirs, than come round and ask their own next door neighbour for their parcel.
