Speaking of which, less new world and imported wines and more English wines.

Wouldn't wine be brought in by ship rather than air?

Air-mail is also going to be stopped completely, or have they (Fedex et al) got infrastructure?

Schools are having to decide whether they have enough staff to open.

Warehouses are full because no airfreight is moving. Production/manufacturing stops.

What else is affected.

drop in price of oil as less demand for aviation fuel.
I guess the skies are quieter.

(Temporary) cessation in cheap tat (iPod covers etc) from Chinese factories being sold on eBay.

Ooh, maybe the iPad will be delayed further!
