Hi arnie

I agree with you whole-heartedly. But everyone is at the same thing; not just Malta.

They just had a guy on the radio who was flying home from New Zealand. They got him to Singapore but his UK connection was cancelled. He was told that he would be transferred to another flight IN 8 DAYS Time !!

So he went to a hotel to book a room for this period. He was informed that the room would cost him the equivalent of £500 per night. He said he would try to find somewhere cheaper. He couldn't. So he went back an hour later and was told the room was now £600 !!!

Daylight robbery.

cheers
