The problem in closing schools is with many families both parents work. If your children cannot go to school then one parent probably has to take time off work to look after them.

His concern is that the load factor will be low enough that his flight will be uneconomical and therefore cancelled. He's worried he'll end up pinging around Europe instead of going direct. Luckily, our work is trying to sort out a seat for tomorrow for him to fly directly home.

Takes me back to the Icelandic volcano where we had four engineers in Barcelona. They ended buying a nasty old car and driving back to the UK and selling it for scrap!

The Australian GP has be posponed, Vietnam might follow suit.

Trouble is there not much room to squeeze it in, unless they cancell the mid season break and put it there.

The Oz GP could be put neat the Japanese GP at the end of the year
