Don’t you just hate it when this happens…

17 May

I read an article on the weekend and could immediately relate and thought I would share the gist of article with you…

A pensioner spent 8 years working a 5000 piece puzzle only to discover right at the end that there was 1 piece missing!! Now, admittedly, he couldn’t have been working at break neck speed to complete the puzzle, because a bit of simple arithmetic tells me he wasn’t even placing 2 pieces a day…but then maybe there was a lot of one colour (you know…sky, sea etc)

Apparently, he was so devastated on discovering the missing piece, that his family contacted the makers of the puzzle to try and get a replacement piece. Alas, he had taken so long to complete the puzzle, that they had stopped making the puzzle.

Shame, bless…
