One hears a lot about how Brits abroad are abandoned and uncared for, usually in the Daily Mail or similar.
So the British Embassy in Chile organised a charter flight up to Quito which flew out today to connect with a flight from Quito back to the UK. Eventually they agreed to carry other Europeans and anyone permanently resident in Europe since only 36 Brits were interested.
Even then they only carried 80-something.
Good for them for arranging it though.
