“Eigentlich hätte ich mich schon wundern sollen, dass der Workshop in einem Zeitraum und nicht zu einer festen Zeit stattfindet. Dann sind wir 40 Minuten zur angegebenen Stelle gefahren. Leider haben wir dort nichts vorgefunden. Da wiederum hätte ich mich wundern sollen, dass nur eine Straße aber keine Hausnummer angegeben war. Schließlich habe ich dann um 10.10 Uhr angerufen (ab 10.00 Uhr sollte ja angeblich etwas passieren), aber nur eine Mailbox war dran. Mein Mann rief von seiner Nummer auch nochmals an. Aber es wurde auch nicht zurückgerufen. Also alles höchst dubios.”
