Not Whore, H.O.
I drove, what, 2 hrs (plus 1 hr looking for a car park) each way, through M4 and M25 AND M23 to get there, conquering my fear of M25, and jumped into a small queue, all smiley out of some nervousness, and what they tell me?
"Actually, the whole system is down today and we are closed. We will give you another appointment, or you can queue up any day before 10am."
My face went... 'BLANK'.
"Um... I just drove like 3 hrs to get here, and this is the SECOND time you cancelling my appointment. Is there ANYTHING you can do??"
The agent says,
"OH? Nobody called you to tell you that we are closed?"
Looking charmingly surprised.
....Would I be here if that was indeed the case????
I hate that place, not because I fear getting busted (coz I am not) but because it's just a bloody typical government body with loads of TAX money, let alone individual's resources, poured around for pathetic work schedules and bloody FIVE0s who chat around all day, looking all macho under the UMBER security alert, randomly intimidating people by doing luggage search, and going back to low intellectual CHATTING.
Am going there again, next week. I don't believe in 3rd time lucky at all, but I don't think I can do this every week so it will have to be it. It's really not much fun otherwise.
