How is the volcanic ash situation affecting you, your friends, family or work?

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).
