Nice to know someone gives a damn.
I got robbed in Paris many years back, I went to the British embassy and just happened to meet up with two Americans in a similar situation.
Americans, I found out were provided with flights home.
Yours truly, 20 centimes and a map of Paris to enable me to hitch hike to the ferry.
Come WW3 or any other national emergency I will have no problem whatsoever repaying Britain the equivalent value of 20 centimes and a givaway tourist map.
