We’ve now had a fridge, cooker, television and microwave just sat there unconnected for five days now. It’s not that we’re too lazy to set them up. We’re not allowed to touch them. We have to wait for the appropriate people to come round and install them for us. We also don’t have a phone. We’ve been pressuring the company we work for to sort this out for 4 of those 5 days and so far nothing has happened. This is just one frustrating example of how hard is it to get a definite time for things out here. Here is another.
Kenny lost his wallet on Tuesday (it was either pickpocketed or dropped out of his pocket). The only important things in there were his keys. He’d been told to lock his door because some men were coming round to fit the fridge etc. They didn’t turn up (natch) and Kenny was locked out of his room. Locked out of his clothes, money and everything else. He only had what he was wearing and what he had bought from M.G. Road before. It took 3 days before the locksmith arrived.
Needless to say this new timescale will take some getting used to.
