Couldn't Make It Up

Mr Fruit, received a letter, through the post today, for a hospital appointment 2 hours after he should of been there, no phone call, no text just a letter for an appointment he wasn't even expecting.

Should have gone to it, could have saved a lot of waiting time.

Bit scary though, for someone waiting for an urgent appointment, who then lose it because they didn't show up.

Could it be a date misprint?

What date was it written?

We opted to get our hospital notifications electronically so we get an email and a text every time. One is well in advance, giving us time to change it, the other is a reminder a couple of days before. Cheap for the NHS and very convenient for us.

My Mum got a letter from the local hospital for an appointment that was the same day that the letter was actually dated.  The numpty that typed it didn't even notice.
