Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
This should really be in the happy thoughts thread
Is laughing at the fact the Belgium has closed its airspace, and his former employer has some 50 aircraft unable to deliver it parcels.
How much is it gonna cost them, well I reckon at £50,000 per aircraft a day, that is a nice tidy £2,500,000 a day.
Happy days

The company I worked for shut down it UK side and moved it in the Belgium HQ, making 91 Brits out of work.
So the more grief this company gets the happier I am

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
I read earlier that the cloud is 6 miles up but our planes fly at 35,000 feet, how does it make it dangerous at the two levels?

My mistake, it was in 1783 it last erupted.
"If the volcanologists are right, we could be in for a bumpy ride. The last time Iceland had a colossal eruption was in 1783. Laki, a fissure close to the GrÃ*msvötn volcano, burst open and threw up fountains of lava and clouds of ash for eight months. The poisonous sulphur dioxide gas killed over half of Iceland's livestock population and led to a famine that wiped out about a quarter of Iceland's population.
Meanwhile, as the cloud blew south it wreaked havoc over Europe, too. "This outpouring of sulphur dioxide during unusual weather conditions caused a thick haze to spread across western Europe, resulting in thousands of deaths throughout 1783 and the winter of 1784," says Jerram. The fog was so thick that boats across Europe were forced to stay in port."

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
With regards to the health issues they have said, warning people with asthma and such to be carefull out side, what about pets?
My sister has a rabbit that when they are home has free run of the garden, and there kitchen.
Should they bring him into the house (he has been brought indoors when the weather was really cold outside), as he eats he grass that could be contaminated?
