No this is quite a common scenario. The mistake OP made was to fly in on a Friday ? You really should have made plans to land in on Sunday evening and in my opinion the agent did give you enough notice but you were in mid air to take notice!
I agree with Psycho though, I doubt this contract will happen. Forget it, move on.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

The contract did happen, I was there for three and extended once for three more, at which point I was happy to stop and they also were done with the project.Comment
