We do try very hard to accommodate people ; we really do. Without exception I try to remain polite, courteous . And well mannered when posting or replying to emails , messages etc .
One hopes that the hospitality and cooperation shown is in some way reciprocated.
However today : Sunday I had plans to get the final preparations done for a business trip I have next week . A LOT to sort out for that trip . A young man calls , needs his rifle re barreled in short order . Can’t make it during the week can’t make it on Saturday. I agreed to make the journey into the workshop on Sunday on the proviso that he be there in the morning before midday. As I have a lot to do .
The upshot is he did not turn up , no phone call . No email , no text nothing . So a wasted day for me .
Do not be surprised when in future that such accommodations have been withdrawn. Not just for one but for Everyone !!!!!
Common courtesy dictates that you inform someone if you cannot make the appointment. My time is a precious as everyone else’s . Do not waste it .
