I really hate the compensation culture that has creeped into modern day society. On reading this thread I understand that you didn't get to Prague until the following day. What I also take from it is that the company got you there at no extra expense at the next practicable opportunity. As a matter of interest, what exactly are you claiming compensation for? I personally feel it's a pity that this is what your retirement time is being spent on, and don't get me started on solicitors!
