Point is that it was a one off special order based on the colour. I
have a local gardening competition in September and I was proposing to
grow this one on for the competition.
If a woman ordered a blue dress and received a pink one ...?

She would send it back, saying she'd been sent the wrong one, and
receive either the right one or a refund.
She wouldn't expect, or get, any compensation because she'd been unable
to wear the dress of her choice at the party on Saturday night, (unless
she had stipulated that in her contract with the dress supplier).

Must be an idiosyncrasy of Turncoat - all the posts have arrived in the
