Brits getting home

Except Cab is stuck in a 5* Cancun hotel. Poor boy.

 

Tough life, isn't it.

 

I thought that you of all people would know that wormholes get sorted the
day mankind steps out on Mars.

 

that's life.

 

I imagine it will be if he's having to meet the bill out of his own
pocket.

Except, of course, the Frog trains are on strike.

Lift the strike to help with the travel situation? Are you *MAD*?

Oh sure. I'm sure the union members approve of the car-hire firms and
hotels jacking their prices up too. Same principle, no?

 

Yes.

Later developments appear to have taken the pressure off, but thanks.

Ben wibbled forthrightly:

Not at all. Thank ****.

It was a company "meeting" and we managed to get the company to push
for a better rate fr all those stuck. Still $200 per night though with
sundries on top. Hotel bill came to just under $1000 for the extra 4
nights.

I did have to pay for the hire of the jetski on the beach and the car
to go to Chichen-Itza myself though.

The only annoying thing (apart from sorting out flights with Amex) is
that SWMBO was obliged to take the days off as extra holiday. I didn't,
as it wasn't my fault that the company asked me to Mexico for the
meeting.
