Perhaps I should have said ‘But it simply isn’t working for me’.
Really don’t understand what’s going on. Perhaps my expectation is simply unreasonable. But I think to wait a week for a reply to a courteous, simple request (with a polite chaser) is frustrating (never mind actually getting the spares).
It’s a pity, as I’m sure the club has lots of spares that I can use. I would much rather source them here in the UK, via the club. But I can’t operate like this.
