It was the light-entertainment many had longed for on a Saturday night in lockdown and social media sure didn't disappoint when it came to the reactions to Amazon's customer service tweet about Northern Ireland.
Amazon Prime Customer Chris Jones' queried t how he wasn't able to watch the Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage from his home in Northern Ireland despite it being available in the UK.
To which Amazon customer help on Twitter replied: "Thank you for that information. We apologize but upon reviewing your location you're in Northern Ireland. Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is exclusively available to Prime members based in the UK. We don't have the rights to other territories. ^RS"
What followed was a huge Twitter meltdown of funny tweets, memes and photo-shopped images implying that Amazon had 'United Ireland'.
Here are just some of the wittiest reactions to the error:
@RomanShortall : "I’ve ordered a 32 county republic from Amazon for Christmas."
@SeanTY78 · " Pearse, Connolly, Collins & Amazon Help "
@Go_SYH_In_A_Pig · The Black Friday Agreement #UnitedIreland
@daraobriain "Amazon Prime have delivered a United Ireland, and before 6pm on the same day."
@davidkerr1970 "Come out your transit vans And deliver if you can Sure your wife thought you were working down at Nandos... Where are the gifts and gear That you said you'd bring right here By the lovely lanes for Cillian and for Sandra."
@acatherwoodnews · "A Mazon Once Again"
The online retailer did realise their error and apologised for the mistake tweeting: "We apologise for the error in our colleague’s response. Our Prime Video subscribers in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK can access and watch the Rugby Autumn Nations Cup on Prime Video as part of their subscription."
