A trip out of the office.

Off to Namibia tomorrow for some work sun sea sand and… well more sand. Hot dry and quiet. Had to go anyway but have a client now that needs a photograph of a building to make sure it is there.

Now you would think that it would be relatively easy to confirm whether a building is where it is supposed to be. We have however had a case in the past where a client was paying warehousing fees in Lebanon. The warehouse was empty due to the political climate in the country and the high risk of lead poisoning.

We had an agent go around to find that the warehouse had gone. Well it hadn’t actually gone, it was more a case of it having been reduced to its component parts. This was a bit of an irritation to our client particularly since we confirmed he had been paying substantial rent on a pile of twisted metal, burned timbers only to house a sizeable collection of rodents for nearly a year.

Anyway, time to get packed.
