6.55am this morning text message received saying "Sorry but have to cancel bouncy castle booking on saturday, changed mind its too far out of our way becuase of other bookings"

So I ring and leave voice mail asking for a call back.

Bloke rings back - Sorry we have a big even in Skirlagh (other side of Hull) so cant do your event.

I explain that is my event not big too - its for a chairty and potentially 400 people turning up. I explain that I have a day job, I haven't got time to ring round lots of other companies trying to find another castle. Its the height of summer and I have FOUR days to try and sort this out, as well as 400 other things.

He offers some numbers

I'm in the car driving to work so ask him to text them to me.

He says "I understand that you are disappointed"

I say "I'm not disappointed, I'm actually very angry"

He says, "Well you can find your own numbers then" and slams the phone down on me.

At no point in the conversation did I raise my voice (altho now I am screaming at anyone who will listen!)

It is important to note that this guy was getting paid FULL money for this booking - he was not giving us any discount on the fact that this was a charity event, the booking was being paid for by the Dive Station in Hull.
