May your journeys home or away for the Christmas season be better than they have been for Eurostar train passengers between London and France. Many were stranded in London for several days when technical problems created by the colder than usual weather in northern France meant major cancellations. The phrase "the wrong type of snow" was avoided in Eurostar statements, but the newspapers, keen to play on Britain's general lack of expertise in coping with more than a few millimetres of the fluffy stuff, had a field day. Season's greetings.
