Sorry to hear more people's troubles.
A lot are going to get stung badly by act of god. Some insurers are paying out apparently, but a lot of the 'bargain' types won't, and obviously anyone even thinking about insurance now won't be covered. Wonder how long it'll be before the supermarkets are impacted. I should think we're about there by now so expect imported fresh fruit and veg prices to be on the up. If this turns into a long-term thing (which it might if Katla pops), then it's going to be interesting times ahead for anything vaguely airline-related (could well see a few go bust - and I wouldn't be surprised if that includes BA). |

A skirt wearer I know (still undecided whether I want to bonk her) has missed her flights back home.
Other than not really affected. Luckily my parents and a few other peeps I know flew just before it farted.

My sister is a nanny and the girls she looks after and their Mum flew out to Portugal on Wednesday for a weeks holiday just before this all kicked off. Their Dad had to work until Friday and was due to fly out to join them yesterday. Looks like by the time he can get out there it'll be time for them to all come back anyway.
Hope your Mum doesn't have any problems with all this Stan and she gets her op without any problems. Which hospital is she going to? |

They are already having problems. Local Sainsburys have very little in the fruit and veg isle.Went to the market in town today and half the fruit and veg stalls weren't there, and those that were had very little. Luckilly, there's one stall that is all UK produce so stocked up from them.

Not badly affected here, but it stinks of sulfur at about 3000 feet, makes it nice for the pilots.
Dad's stuck in Paris, but i'm sure he's not too dissapointed.

Just spoke to Mam just now and she's not having any problems so far - apart from sneezing a lot with the very fine dust. Her op is on the 28th at Foresterhill (ARI). Hopefully things will be back to normal by then.

Not affecting us here or anyone we personally know, hope everyone who's having problems have them all sorted soon
