She received the letter on a Saturday morning, and as it was a City of London branch, she could not be contacted 鈥榯ill the following Monday, when much apologising was made by the manager. In the meantime my wife had suffered much distress. Shortly after this, my parents鈥� house in Shirley received a direct hit from a V2 Rocket, completely destroying everything they and I owned.
