Foreign Perspectives

No thanks to the ADA guy at the airport who is plain useless but we now have a car for the next ten days or so.

OK, I’ll grant that the ADA franchise in Perpignan is tiny but that’s really no excuse for the dreadful customer service that they’ve shown. In fact, given that there’s rarely any queuing at the ADA desk the customer service should be excellent and indeed up to now we’ve been recommending people to go to them because of that. No longer though.

We’re hoping that we’ll not need to be renting a whole lot longer as our car is supposed to be here sometime this month. Can’t really see that happening myself but who knows? Even in France sometimes things do happen early!

The next challenge is to find some economic way to get myself over to Dublin for the Open University Spanish exam next month. Somehow I’ve managed to get to the point where I “only” need 20% in each of the next two (very large scale) assignments to get an overall pass on the assignments which “just” leaves the matter of the exam.

As a bit of a treat, we’re also planning on heading off to Berlin for a few days after the exam which also needs organising.
