I wonder what Eurostar, Ferries, bus companies etc. are expected to do when services are cancelled for circumstances out of their control? There are many who use other forms of transport to leave UK shores, or leave their own borders.
I do agree that the onus should not be on the airlines solely. In life sh1t happens and I believe you either sort yourself out or sit back and take whatever comes to you.

Last Sunday I made my own arrangements as I would rather spend a little and be comfortable than waste even more time arguing over one nights accommodation.

I had already wasted 4 - 5 hours of what is left of this lifetime, why waste anymore?
