I did think it funny earlier that the reporter who was interviewing a spokesman for Air Traffic Control, and he appeared to be trying to get the ATC spokesman to say that UK airspace will be closed for days and to describe the chaos that will ensue. The ATC spokesman, of course, was saying none of that (they don't know, so it would be bad to speculate). Then, back in the studio, they had a volcanologist who they were asking if people with respiratory problems should worry, to which the reply was that they should in Iceland, all we are likely to see is some pretty sunsets...
