Waugh family update: Spoke to the temporary paper issuing agency who will remain unnamed...DFAIT...as my Gàidhlig grandfather used to say about as useful as tits on a bull...didnt care that we were travelling with a young child...said too bad so sad...see ya Monday during opening hours...as they relax over the weekend...well putting acorns together...and will be calling back home to hopefully raise enough cash for tickets to make it home...thoroughly stressed out...downtown London...out of money...no guarantee of when well get home...maybe 4 working days from Monday was the canned reply...no phones to real people...just email, and apparently if youre lucky enough to have WiFi, all the magic answers are on their website...yeah right! Mr. Richter, this isnt the first bit of stuff Ive seen like this from DFAIT...Canada is ugly from outside, plain and simple. I ask you this...how can a supposedly caring country treat its citizens, civil servants and families like this...people who pay their salaries through our taxes, law abiding good citizens...my answer is clear...and Ill refrain from writing it. Thank you all for your kind comments. Despite having and almost empty cash situation, i decided that wed stay at a Holiday Inn Express, and at least have WiFi and breakfast for a couple of days...until we hopefully get this sorted. I truly regret not bringing my bagpipes...at least I could have played for some food / accommodation money...anyway...stiff upper lip and all that shite...my special bottle of 15 year old Dalwynnie that Id been saving for and that wouldve lasted years will be quickly drained as therapeutic medicine...I truly hope my boss is understanding...christmas vacation gone...cards maxed...grace of god...what an adventure...Oh Canada...remember that essay I wrote all those years ago Michael Richter? Anyway, enough of my trivial complaining...we are alive, healthy, and in one of the craziest cities on earth...:-P
