A Proud Cockerel? Cock-A-Doodle-Splutter

A 75 minute delay at Paris CDG reduced to 30 minutes on appeal. Is this the best the striking French can do?! How the protestors of May 1968 would cringe with shame. I’ve travelled the length of Europe and the best they could do was a pathetic abandoned suitcase, which held me up for 10 minutes, and then a 75 minute delay which they later reduced to 30 minutes when I complained that it was my birthday. I’m not home yet and I don’t want to count any chickens but really, what has this country come to?! I don’t think I’ll be so cocky when I’ve run out of petrol on Saturday night and have to sleep in my car slowly freezing to death, but for the minute, I’m feeling pretty triumphant, almost.
