Snow work without flyer

Due to yesterday's closure of Southampton airport, I've had to postpone today's "Moving from Group Work to Team Work" workshop on the South Coast and stay home watching cricket on Sky instead.

Jet2 have agreed to refund my airfare to/from LBA, but DeVere Hotels are still charging me £95 as I didn't (couldn't) give 24 hours cancellation notice and won't take my weather-enforced non-appearance into account for any future booking when the training day gets rearranged.

Am now wondering how the snow is costing British industry £oos of millions a day (ref: Sky News during the lunch interval) since although I've incurred some expenses without any income, DeVere have benefitted by that same amount without incurring any costs, and the college still has the funds they were going to pay me, all the money involved is still in the system somewhere.
Isn't it?
