Hey, you're back from Glasgow?- How did it go?
Yeah, I got back yesterday afternoon.- It didn't go as well as we'd hoped.
- Was there a problem?
- Unfortunately...
- For some reason, Glasgow office wasn't expecting us tilｌ Thursday.
- Oh no. How did that happen?
- I don't know.
- But we had to make our own way to the office in rush hour
- and then wait while the secretary got hold of Mary - who was out to lunch.
- Grief, what a performance.
- Did you get the chance to meet with everyone, in the end?
- Yes, eventually.
- They were very apologetic of course and took us all out to dinner.
- That's good. Some place nice?
- No, just the local pub.
- But the food was good.
