Lost in the Mail......

I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt as they had finally said they were going to send me something. I have yet to receive anything from them, despite being told that the letter went in the post on the 15/10. I called up today to try and track it down, they had told me the delay was down to the posties being on strike, and another very helpful lass looked into it for me. Initially I was told that the letter had gone out on the 18/10 but that she would confirm. The helpful lass has since called me back and told me the letter went out on 17/10 but was sent to Phil Hope my MP rather than me. A very strange way of doing business, I would have thought that it was legally incorrect to respond to a correspondent by sending the reply to an unnamed party?!? Anyway they are going to send a copy to my address. I will now have to follow up with Phil Hope's office, to get the letter forwarded. Very Weird..the truth is out there..anyway will keep you posted. Scores on the door is 924 that 1000 sig horizon is getting closer, thanks to all of you who have taken the time and effort to support the cause. Keep talking, and signing....
