We walked to Kent International Airport to collect our hire car. We were due to collect it at 11am but the office was closed and at 11.15, we called Avis Head Office. I had booked it online and they had no record of the booking! I was angry to say the least! They sent over Ken (from Dover office) to placate me I think. He explained that the computer had crashed and lost some bookings, including mine it seems. I had thought it strange that they hadn’t phoned me in the morning. But they have been so good, I didn’t think any more of it. Anyway, they compensated us with an extra day car hire free and 10% off the price. Good enough for me!
Then off to Ramsgate for us both to have our hair cut at Marcello’s. We had the usual entertaining time there, after all these years it is more like going to a friends house. He was asking Mal marketing ideas as although he has a steady trade, he is not as busy as he used to be but I am convinced this is all part of the recession and people just can’t afford to visit their hairdresser as often as they used to. He is very talented and so I don’t understand why he is not as busy, apart from the fact that maybe he is not in the centre of the town. Anyway, we had an entertaining couple of hours.
On to Sainsbury’s to get some shopping to take to Torquay with us at the weekend.
I loved this one….
