Volcanic ash over Europe (1)
When I first heard the announcement over loudspeakers on the London underground, I thought that I had misunderstood the news. But no, it really was a warning that volcanic ash from an eruption in Iceland was preventing flights from all UK airports. In all my six decades or so, I’ve never heard anything like it.
It’s bad enough that the Icelanders should have collapsing banks threatening the savings of British individuals and institutions. Can’t they be more careful with their volcanoes?
It seems that several countries in Europe are equally or partially affected as explained here.

The Icelandic government misheard us. We actually said we wanted our CASH back!
