I found this post hiding within the system so I thought I’d publish it even though we moved months ago!
We should have exchanged contracts on the houses today but we didn’t. This was all down to the solicitor for the people whose house we are buying.
Our solicitor sent him a fax at 10am this moring asking him to confirm one thing and pointing out that we wanted to exchange today. We then waited all day and we are still waiting for a reponse.
Apparently he wasn’t in the office this morning and of course there was no one who could deal with it in his absense. When he did come in he had a meeting and of course he couldn’t possibly deal with it. Now apparently he has dictated a letter but it’s waiting to be typed (WTF I thought this was the 21st century not the 1950’s - incidently their website says that they are a well equiped firm with all the latest technology - probably means they have carbon paper!!).
So because one one persons inaction everyone invloved in the chain has had to wait - and will have to wait now till Monday.
If ever there was a profession that needs a rocket up it’s arse it the legal profession.

We sold a running machine on e-bay - the people came to collect it today. The lady told Sarah how she had lost a stone and told me and her husband to be careful we didn’t crush her packet of doughnuts which were on the seat as we put the machine into the car!!!

It took me 3 hours to get to work this morning due to a jack-knifed lorry on the M25. Even though it was no where near where I wanted to be the traffic had backed up to the junction I come off at and everyone was trying to find an alternative route around the carnage.
When I did eventually get near to the office there was another traffic jam due to an accident on the roundabout at the end of the industrial estate involving some arse who had rolled his car.
Parking the car and walking the last few hundred yards I arrive at my desk, open a package of gobo’s (metal discs for lamps to project logos) and found to my horror that the company who had made them had made a mistake. They’re needed for this evening too.
And all this before 11am!!

On the way home tonight I saw a sign outside a pub in Beckenham urging us to “Book now for Christmas”.
Last week Sarah went to buy a Birthday card and noticed the shop already had a display of Christmas cards!!
An e-mail dropped into my inbox this evening advertising the Northern Deadhead’s Christmas bash…..
It’s the middle of September for F*cks sake!! God have these people not got a life?
Christmas should be banned until December - wish we were going to Oz again they don’t make any fuss like this over there!!

Before I tell this story I just want to say that 99.9% of the time South Eastern provide a fantastic service.
This mornings 5:56 train from Gillingham was nearly 20 minutes late arriving at Victoria because of “drizzle in Kent”
