Rosamummy and I generally try and go to the ballet every year, at Christmas time or thereabouts.
This year it is the English National Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker, which I booked in mid-October.
I have just spent a very pleasant half an hour on hold to their ticketing department (pleasant because their hold music is various snippets of opera, performed by the English National Opera), waiting to tell them that the tickets have not yet arrived.
"We did send them, madam," said the lovely helpful man. "We'll issue you some replacements, you can come and pick them up whenever you're passing."
"The card that paid for them was eaten by a cash machine a couple of weeks ago."
"Not a problem, just bring your passport."
Bless.
Hopefully, my tickets are just lost in the black hole that is my local sorting office, and there won't be a Scene becase we get there and find naughty people already occupying our seats...
