The old "sick parent" story.
0/10 for originality ![:D](https://www.ukpunting.com/Smileys/kolobok/biggrin.gif)
I did cancel a booking because my father was near death. Although I cancelled a day before the booking was going to take place, she refused to let me book again a couple of months later. And my father did die 4 days after the original booking date, 5 days after I cancelled.
