That's bad news Bill. How the h@ll can a professional run out of standard materials for a scheduled job?!! It's as bad as "OK guys, we're ready to attack that enemy position. Oh dear, we haven't got any ammo!"
My annoyance today - waited in all day yesterday and today, for delivery of a package which is confirmed despatched last Thursday (normally takes 2 to 3 working days maximum from this supplier), only to find it hasn't reached the local mail sorting office, and is probably 'missing'.
I now have to wait another two weeks before I can file a claim, with the Post Office, for the missing goods. Then they will 'investigate', which will take at least another 2 weeks, and, if the package is not located, I can then claim for the costs!
B*ll*cks to that - I want my bl**dy book and kit!!
