Yep I was that soldier once too. Hotfooting it down the M61 and received a similar text cancelling. Being in the wilds of North Lancs every punt outside Preston is a bloody camel ride for me so it's especially off-pissing when this happens.
The little bugger had the hook in me though as she'd been in my hot-list for yonks so I perservered and a few weeks later managed to get a meet. Can only say it was OK, and there was nothing to add or correct on what is a very glowing report on her already on here somewhere. Just think the poster had made more of a connect than I obviously did !
