Went camping but when I got to the site, I thought I’d lost a part I needed to set up the tent so I booked a (expensive) last minute hotel. I noticed I had the piece almost as soon as I hung up. But I couldn’t cancel as no one was picking up when I called and their policy only allowed cancellations until midday.
