It's just too easy to place blame here.

Such things can and do happen anywhere in the world (even here in UK) , and any official govt plan can be jumped upon on as being inadequate by those who are ill-informed and not impacted.
Ricky, my apologies if I sounded overly fractious. It wasn't my intention mate. I'm just a bit wound up at the moment. Carina has been attempting to contact friends and family all day and all communications are very sporadic.
We cancelled a Birthday get together tonight due to this. We promised to attend but it seems the reasons for our cancellation is not well received. Bloody typical.!!

I need to send some money asap and getting all the logistics planned is getting to be a major problem.
Technology is wonderful when it works. Otherwise..................

Sorry if I offended anyone
