The Anonymous Widower

Some People are Winning

There are about 150,000 Brits abroad, who can’t get home because of the flights.  There are also an awful lot of Europeans stuck here.  When I was at the services at Stansted yesterday, there was a couple of girls with a plaintiff sign asking for a lift to Germany.  We will start to here a lot of hardship stories, as the ones who’ve made it home are the ones with money.

A friend of mine was stuck in Cologne with his car at Stansted.  He got charged £65 as a foot passenger on a ferry at Calais.

It will be interesting to see, what sort of profits the ferries and Eurostar make this year.

But seriously, we must start to find a solution to the problem of Icelandic ash.
