Blackbead Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Carmina, I paid me tariff and got me receipt certifying me as a paid up vendor! BUT, when I was first contacted by phone there was mention of a map of the facility so's I could be choosin' me berth. The words "first come, first served" were used. The problem? There was no such map. Is there another way we can do this or is there a record being kept of when who paid so that I can make me choice in the proper order? Any information would be a pleausre to receive! Blackbead "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
