...but wouldn't you expect to be able to see this dust cloud? It's clear blue skies here in sunny Yorkshire. I don't understand.

It's far higher than we imagine and probably nowhere near where you're looking! I'm waiting for that light grey ashy covering over everything which was one of the promised side effects.

You can't see it because you've got ash in your eyes.

The whole thing smells like Swine Flu to me.

I don't understand why his has only affected Iceland and none of the other large frozen food retailers.

Tesco seem to be totally unaffected with their 3.8 billion profit announcement.

My 4 year old son told his teacher yesterday that there was a volcano in Ice World. I think Iceland should change its name to Ice World. I for one would be on the next flight there. Assuming of course that there ever is a next flight.

For reasons I won't go not I'm on Taxi duty tonight for Mrs.M and a few of her friends. We phoned each one to arrange times of pick up etc and one of them advised it would be a rather long journey for me as she's been stuck somewhere in Barcelona since last Friday!

They should drop a giant Immoduim plus, a giant tampon and a giant tennalady on top of it - that should stop the flow!

If the spectator doesn't engage in the effect,
then the only thing left is the method.

You can't argue with Mother Nature!
And "Yes", Icelanders are also affected by this, as you can see from the following pictures.
