Cookware Plan the Solution to Eurostar Chaos

The Chef insists his idea will have something to do with Seagulls.

Eurostar have unveiled an unorthodox plan to get the estimated 55,000 stranded travellers back to Blighty by dragging them from the back of a train on an assortment of Cookware.  Oven trays, large commercial sauce pans and Ken Hom Woks will be used to double capacity on the fast trains and get everyone home from Europe in good time for the Queens speech.  The Cookware plan was devised by a Chef aboard a broken Eurostar train who saw all of his pots and pans sitting their doing nothing.

“Zoot Alor!  Zis is what I thought when I saw all of zees cookwares about mon kitchen.  I would like to be serving petit pois wiz Foie Gras and a sintilating rouge vin to zee passengers.  But I cannot.  Instead, I am thinking a lot about using mon cookware to double le capacity en le train.  I know, I am a genius.”  said Eric Cantona, a Eurostar chef.

Bosses at Eurostar moved quickly to approve the plan and have begun drafting contracts for passenger to sign and waive their right to safety, warmth and shelter.  Those that don’t fall off a Wok, freeze or suffer health problems from fear will likely be taken to a London hospital where it is hoped they will be discharged in time for Christmas.
