Four Color Fantasies — Local services in Winchester

I told the guy at the front desk about the difficulties I'd had, and his response was one of those "sorries" that sounds more like a defensive excuse than an apology.

It's hard for me to do Saturdays given my work schedule, but I could have arranged something if I knew in advance. But after a phone call and two visits where I heard different things every time, I'm not inclined to...
