Yes, I think we all understand the generic benefits/marketing fluff of CE. However the OP's circumstances were somewhat different.
No empty seat, no lounge (in either direction) and at LCY (not sure about Chambery) you are not even guaranteed to be off first as both sets of doors can be used. And TPs are not always important to people either.
So it could be an expensive option for a £5 CE meal and a voucher at Chambery that apparently cannot be used.....
