'Lost in transit'. I read an article in The Times recently that reported that tens of thousands of parcels that had built up in storage and delivery depots over the various lockdowns were just sent to landfill instead of being worked through and delivered. The article was prompted by the recovery of a 100 year old FA trophy (not the FA Cup!) by a worker tasked with disposing of the parcels who decided to investigate this particular parcel (presumably because of the FA headquarters address on the label). Obviously the companies involved (not named) chose to put their profits before their ethical duty to complete the deliveries. I suspect future generations of dump diggers will hit a rich seam of items from the Covid period.
Regards,
Leo
