I received an annual retirement ticket in the mail a month after I made the trip....they found it on someones desk ready to post...
and this was London...
I remember years ago after Saddam entered Kuwait...
GF was requested by the British Army to positioned the staff travel desk across the Saudi causeway....
they did this and supplied Jamila their star ticket issuer with two mobile phones and a bucket of sandwiches to keep her up to speed zero.....Saddam arrived and took one look and said "I come back tomorrow!"
We feel your pain.....despite this we all loved Jamila and got our tickets in time if we told her she had lost weight...thoes that did not are still waiting!
No sense of humour do not join.
