Yes ended up at JBR more of a panic situation than anything else, 3 or 4 said they would get back to me in Satwa to no avail, arranged 2 meetings with agents in Al Barsha and 1 in the Greens, none of them turned up, the agency I used were totally useless. Will arrange a meet once Karen comes across with me on 27th March, we can maybe go for a meal somewhere.
See you soon.
