Ooo, an adventure holiday! This pic, taken a few hours ago, just south of Edinburgh suggests everything is fine.

Global cooling, start taxing the b*ggers.....

P.S. I'm sure there is little real risk, but jet engines aren't cheap to replace....

Our MD is on the train to Geneva to catch a flight to Bristol - I text him to say he can take his time, he's not going anywhere!

Just imagine the amount of whingeing, bitching and crying there would be about this cloud of dust (and, no doubt, associated CO2) if the eruption were man-made...

Its great fun phoning customers to tell them we cant send their packages because of a volcano. What a great excuse lol.

Im sure this is all man made, global warming, climate change and all that.

The real source of the cloud of dust affecting UK airports has now been traced, unlike originally thought the dust cloud actually originated in Newcastle and not Iceland
Apparently they have given their trophy cabinet a wipe down ready to put their first trophy for many years in.
