Anyone affected by Volcanic Dust clouds?

From the news reports we get here, they make it sound like a hollywood disaster movie. I suppose it must be a pain cleaning the car constantly.

Usual over-statement. If it were not for the news buletins and the stranded holiday takers we most likely wouldn't have noticed. There is a very, very light dusting on the cars, but no more than you would get from driving down a dusty lane in summer. We are not all choking and struggling through dust storms. The weather is bright, sunny and warm, and looks to be staying that way for some time. Not as warm as Singapore
though.

going to budapest in just under 2 weeks, best of let flights go again by then :D

I have a cousin stuck in France trying to get back. Hotel's are loving it with 100% take up. And backpackers are getting even smellier and disheveled

IIRC, the last time Mount Pinatubo in Philippines dumped a few years worth of ash in a few weeks; I couldn't see out the car if I don't wipe the windscreen every few days. Didn't stop nor crash a single airplane though.

My mate is stuck in Istanbul with the WRC teams, having just watched a bunch of rally's. Lucky bastard, rang me from some hotel bar with a bunch of rally drivers in getting drunk lol.

My cousin at the bbc says they had to amend the wording on the news to allow for the thick people that thought it meant the lava was going to fall on them...seriously...they got swamped with panicked calls from the public lol.

These are people allowed to vote by the way and decide your future lol.

Been stuck in Lanzarote for the last week at an all inclusive resort with the hotel et al all paid for by the holiday company. It's been hell :D

Seriously though it's been pretty awfull for some people who have had the worry of paying for extra acommodation and organising flights home.
We're just glad to get home safely but I know of others who have are going to be delayed by weeks before they can get a flight home
