Navy to rescue stranded Britons http://ow.ly/1A9lj

I really feel for the people stuck abroad. One of my friends is stuck in Cyprus at the mo.

Yes, one of my colleagues got stuck in Florida and is forced to work remotely from there, poor chap .. we do feel for him here, in Peterborough.

I am supposed to be on a Red Sea Cruise at the moment. I had shifted all sorts of critical work for my client around this holiday. We left for the airport on Thurs. morning..and on the way there was blurb on the radio about airports delaying/cancelling flights. When we got there our flight operator - Thomson - told us to check in normally and wait. After 7 hours we were told to go home and come back tomorrow (Friday). Of course we didn't go back. And on Saturday Thomson gave our money back - nice one. Parking company hasn't returned funds - par for the course with parking companies.

I'm stuck in Berlin at the moment. I wasn't planning on going back to the UK until the end of the month but I'm seriously thinking about booking flights and train tickets as insurance in case this goes on for much longer.

Loads of dust on our car now.

just checked with tgv + eurostar - they've hiked their prices I see.

Must be back up and flying by Friday surely? I have my first visit to the UK in six months this weekend.

Would go by car but the thought of driving through Belgium puts me off.

OMG they've interviewed a chav family for the TV news about being stranded in Denmark.

Jeez, just sooooo embarrassed for the mother: she couldn't string a coherent sentence together. And the whole family were all so fat.

I'm definitely going to get teased about this at work on Monday.

Otoh, you must be glad that your parents are able to spend more time with you.

As air passengers were grounded for the second day in a row and Scotland was covered with a fine coating of instantly lethal dust, experts said that volcanoes were here to stay and would now have to be factored into all our daily decision making processes.

Dr Tom Logan, of the Institute for Studies, said: "Since seven o'clock this morning, Britain is now, essentially, a volcano based society.

Bird strike is more of an issue than dust damage statistically.

Yes, exactly. Some of the birds at BA went on strike and there were no drinks served during the flight.

Whilst in HK fill your case with cheap micro SD cards.

I've worked out you can make an easy million with one trip if customs don't catch you, you'll have make a lot of sales on eBay though which will also arouse suspicion... and it could take a long time... there must be a way.
