Bit of a nightmare yesterday. Got most people into their seats. First half very good but interval at 4.30. Had been told show was finishing at 5pm, now 5.30. Spent the whole interval trying to contact the cab company who were coming at 5. Missed the second act but the cab company eventually replied and agreed to come back at 5.30. Had a cold drink and went out of the disabled entrance to wait for the cab. The show finished and two very elderly people, one in a wheelchair, waiting for the promised cab. Various excuses from the company ensued, they hung up on the phone three times, and they eventually turned up an hour late for their customers! They were Ruskin cars and are almost as bad as the Southwark Dial-a-Ride, who failed to get a customer to the theatre at all last time we arranged a trip. They also arrived over an hour late. It would be good to know of a company who could provide tail-lift cars in central London. When we were in South Downs we found an excellent company in Chichester who had no problems arriving and delivering people on time for theatre outings etc.
Romy turned up from Spain today bringing presents for all, including two lovely fans for me which I find I have mistakenly left in the office. I may have to pop in and fetch them in case of an Indian summer.
