I guess it's like the time when before aircraft took to the skies - it's GLORIOUS! The birds are loving it, there are no criss-cross vapour trails across the sky and although it IS driving me crackers (living on the flightpath to Manchester airport), I am finding that I'm getting used to it somehow... although, that will change when they allow planes to take off again..
However, the upside is, internal travel here by coach or by train is well up on what it usually is and I'll bet the ferry companies are loving it too
They reckon that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from the volcano isn't as much as whats dumped up there by aircraft and that 200,000 tons of CO2 have been saved *each day* by the planes being grounded...

So, thank you Iceland...
