We've written to them (snail mail), if we don't get a response soon we'll 'phone them. Failing that we'll have to just forget them and try and do it all ourselves.

At least with phoning them it's harder for them to ignore you.

That's true, but there's no record of the contact either!

Well there's the phone bill, but not much other than that.

We try and keep a written record of all official communications outside the agency, you can't do that with the telephone.

True.

what's the student night life like up where you are?

Depends on the student.

Tonight I went to a friend's house for dinner then on to the cinema. Tomorow I'm off to the pub. Last Friday I went out for a meal with my housemates. There are plenty of clubs but I went to a couple whilst sober and have been somewhat put off. I much prefer talking to people than getting drunk and making a fool of myself so I tend to stick to pubs, the cinema, meals out and ice skating.

sounds like there is enough going on to keep you occupied!

Plenty, I'm never bored certainly.

do you know the midlands area at all?

Well, I live there so I'd hope so. I'm at university in Nottingham.

ever been to Coventry?

Yes, but apart from the train station I've not been there recently.
