Regarding companies blaming the victims, we just had a very good example of that here over the past days. On Wednesday a severe snow storm hit Denmark, and it snowed for two days clean through. People were advised to stay indoors. Now, the people who missed planes, trains, ferries etc on account of the weather have been told that they can't get a refund on their bookings because the weather was "force majeure". On the other hand people who had booked accommodation, meals etc are being told that the weather was *not* "force majeure", and that they can *not* get a refund on bookings made, as they could have just set off from home earlier in order to get there..

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Best wishes,

Bente
