An eggstremely unusual situation.
Dan felt eggstremely embarrassed when he realised his mistake As owner of the only shop on a remote Scottish island with 500 residents, stock management is extremely important. But an ordering error means the Orkney island of Sanday now has more Easter eggs than people. Dan Dafydd, owner of Sinclair General Stores, thought he’d put in an order for 80 individual chocolate eggs – so he was astonished when the delivery truck turned up two weeks later with 80 cases instead.
‘It is mental how it kicked off! I imagine everyone is having a good giggle, which is good!’ There are now hundreds of Easter eggs in the Sinclair General Store – mainly appearing to be KitKat Chunky or Smarties themed. Thankfully, Dan has come up with a plan to get some of the excess eggs off his hands . He’s set up a raffle, charging £1 per ticket for the chance to win 100 Easter eggs, and all money raised will go to the RNLI.
