Fingers, toes and testicles crossed on your behalf
Because although it doesn't normally take too many shouty letters to make them give it back, it's one additional headache that you really don't need when you're trying to move.

(e.g., when they replied to my email to explain that they'd taken a chunk off our deposit, I had to go and have a walk round the department for half an hour or so and then sit down with a cup of tea before I was sufficiently composed to write a suitably British email of complaint perfumed with sulphur and brimstone. Got a sheepish reply within an hour and half_{; just as well, as if he'd argued back I'd have gone and bought a HONDA ACCORD specially so I could drive it through the plate glass front of his office and pin him against the wall! And hit him! More than once! GRRRR!)}

Hehehe
Thank you muchly, hopefully we'll be fine and dandy. They tried to get us last time because we didn't clean the fridge, doesn't matter that the rest of the flat was gleaming and when we moved in the fridge contained very very dead orange juice, half a pizza and smelt of salami. Bloody bum heads!

I am pleased that you didn't have to whip out the HONDA ACCORD OF JUSTICE!! :)

Cleaning is always the most contentious
as the average decent tenant leaves the place in a better state than that in which they found it. "Professionally cleaned," my arse, in many cases.

How rude of me, I never answered your original question: I'm currently obsessed with David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk album. A bit of classic atmospheric prog rock with absolutely glorious guitar playing. Certainly helping to distract from this morning's tedium.
