Un euro pour l'electricite svp?

Yes, I am still annoyed about my flight on Monday.  Took a delay which originally was to have been 3.5 hours that ended up as 2.5 hours.  Why? Well, it seems the landing lights at Nice were not operating! They give all manner of reasons (see Nice Matin article); however, the truth is they didn't pay the bill - come on we all knew that really didn't we?  An alternative and believable explanation is that since the festive season has now passed all pretty twinkling lights should be switched.

Whatever the reason the personal cost to me was ENORMOUS ..... a full 40, yes 40, euros for a taxi from the airport to the Port!   True it was after midnight but even so .....
