Held "hostage" on the Eurostar at CGD airport on Saturday to avoid speaking to the press, misinformed on Sunday, then a europen tour on Monday. The 6.25 train to Amsterdam was cancelled from G Du Nord, the 8.25 didn't have a driver and left 80 minutes late - then lost another hour during the journey, i missed my 13.45 flight from Amterdam to London....the saga went on but most of all Eurostar didn't want to know or hear about us. The attitude was GO AWAY and deal with this yourselves - we will throw money at you but JUST GO AWAY - when i got to Amsterdam, the shock of someone being nice to me almost reduced me to tears, having been stuck with the French for so long it was the first time for days that this had happened. 3 days to get home!!
