My excuses first. Finished work at 23:00 last night.
Up at 5:00 to catch a train home at 6:30. Hotel is 10 miles from the station so taxi picks me up at 6:00.
Catch the first train to Edinburgh, then to London, then HS1 to Ashford.
13:20. I get off the train, I have my laptop bag but not my suitcase!
Arrrrgh. Its got my black shoes, a newish coat, my suit, a silk tie, some nice work shirts, tie, four of my favorite t-shirts, a couple of casual shirts and a couple of jumpers and a couple of chargers.
Reported right away but no trace and you can't speak to the lost property office - communication is by web page or call center only, so I am in their hands.
I could really do with getting it back as the T-Shirt maker doesn't make them anymore - and the cost to replace the lot has got to be about £850 - of course I need to check if the house insurance will cover it - but it will be as used for clothes I guess, even though the policy is "new for old".
What are the odds on getting the case back I wonder?
