A random query for those in Belfast

Bizarrely, every few months I get a neatly packaged quantity of tissues, wrapped in newspaper, pushed through my letterbox.

It's not just me as I know my neighbour gets them too.

There's no identifying documents, no ads, nothing..just this little package!

I wonder does anyone know what this is about?!

    Oh the phantom tissue fairy. No all I get at least three times a week are charities wanting my clothes!!!! Since I need them to wear they never get any.

    Do you have a pet? I could see some angry neighbour doing this if you were spotted allowing your dog to poop on the street or in their garden without picking it up, as a (unsuccessful) hint. Not that you would do such a thing, Betty!

    Good thinking. You might just have something there.
