Your network Sniffer picked up a conversation between one of these KJs and his travel adviser:

  • KJ: I'll be getting in Sunday: flight AB1234  Depart Gatwick: 12.34 and arrive Marseilles: 16.66 - then taxi pick up at airport to hotel in Cannes.
  • TA: Taxi from Marseilles to Cannes? Don't forget the seasick pills! French taxi drivers, the Alpes Maritimes...
  • KJ: Argh! I missed the Marseilles bit. Is that far?
  • TA: About a three hour drive, maybe less...
  • KJ: !
  • TA: I'd take the train. Trouble is, there's no train until 20.00. Takes two hours...
  • KJ: I'd miss dinner!
  • TA: No, you have dinner in Marseilles, at the station...
  • KJ: But I'm meeting the HP executives that evening... ah, I begin to see how the plan works!
  • TA: You could ask for a helicopter...
