Thank you Julien, it's a classic example of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing with the blind leading the blind. Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. At least she is in a country where English is spoken and her luggage was not checked in. The elderly couple we helped, did not speak Italian and their mobile phone packed up, they couldn't ring anyone. The old chap was completely at a loss to help himself. He should be home by now with his wife and family

p.s his wife had her knee replaced 8 years ago and the other knee was Arthritic and her husband suffers from Diabetes.

I'm going to have an early night as well Phil, thing is I'll be up at the crack of Dawn..... I just love Dawn .

We made sure they were checked into our hotel last night Julien. He took us to dinner, then he perked up. It must have been his diabetes which had put into a low point.

Amazingly he is still working and has around 400 properties, mostly commercial across London. He gave us his business card and has invited us to visit him and his wife at their mansion in Regents Park. A self made man who came from nothing, an impressive character. Aside from that, I have time and respect for my elders and it's true what you said, others would have turned a blind eye to their plight and ignored them completely.
