Yes you are right Somebody, I would rather be stuck in the comfort of my home in the UK, than in an airport waiting lounge or overseas paying for additional nights hotels and running out of money.
One of my best pals is Captain of an oil drill ship in the South China Sea, he's just e-mailed me to say that half of his crew are European and cant get home after their shift change, and the new crew can't get out either. He's got Aussies, American's and Canadian's on his ship, so all's not lost for them as they can still get back.
