    Fair dos! That is serious cafe life 😉 The important thing is you’ve caught it and there were exceptional circumstances happening to you! 

    Well, done on the being organised with parking permits and food for work 😊👏 I hope the headache eased after. 

    The LPG company seem to be disappearing up their own fundament! Good luck with sorting that one without too much hassle … 🤞
