Britiah Air And Now Eurostar Strike

They certainly are trying to screw up lots of holiday travel.Looks like Eurostar drivers will join in the strike with British Air

Sorry for all who are planning to travel in this period.

"Looks like Eurostar drivers will join in the strike with British Air"

British drivers only: most drivers aren't British. There's no airline called British Air - and it's a very long way from certain the one with a similar name will have any strike at all.

If you're going cause unnecessary worry, at least try to get some of the bloody facts straight.

Sorry British Airways. Sure seemed pretty certain the BA strike will go on if the courts rule in the union favor.

I never checked out the nationality of the train drivers. I'll have to remember to do that next time!
