If you make everything in life idiot proof......Evolution will breed a bigger idiot.

Maybe the sender made the stupid mistake of assuming that the delivery person could actually read  :t-up:

 

Hope he didnt get too much battery acid down the back of his neck  :)

As it happens the Euro website, on which you enter your registration number for correct vehicle selection, has about ten batteries over five brands and only one is the correct physical size for the cradle! The one I received (a Bosch) is one of the wrong ones so this potentially half empty battery is going back - this time in the boot of my car and the right one collected. MOTCO's Law strikes twice! :d

 

Actually this makes itself into a SABU (self adjusting balls-up). :o
