Wow what a ray of sunshine the US Embassy in France seems to be.
As was said above, the US Embassy in London is totally different. I'm taking my brolly with me in April just in case it starts raining whilst I'm waiting outside for an hour and half. Then I'm going to have a good book (or even an ATPL manual) to read whilst waiting for the minute interview. Another 4 hour visit to the embassy I fear.
Good to know its not just Britain that suffer from train problems...
