There is no pleasing the English, the last time they got the ashes they were over the moon!

by Matt Hayter

With Britain looking back on the ordeal and laughing about it.…..many British citizens have questioned the extend to which the Civil Aviation Authority went to in order to ensure the safety of flights over Europe.
The Ash cloud left many thousands of British citizens stranded abroad asking ‘Why has my flight been cancelled?’ Well the answer to this was that Iceland has been experiencing low level volcanic eruptions resulting in an ash cloud that spread into the atmosphere across European airspace, posing a significant danger to aircraft. Or in short, nobody would be flying until the CAA said so. The flight ban lasted for six days leaving people worrying about getting home and whether they could stay in their hotel for another day.

Some Britain’s paid a small fortune to get back home by travelling across Europe by all sorts of transport such as Taxis and hired cars. Their goal to get to France in order to cross the English Channel. There has been a lot of speculation to whether or not the flight ban was really necessary. The ban cost major and minor airlines a fortune, and also disrupted trade between us and the EU. Schools were also effected as teachers and pupils alike could not return back home after the Easter holiday.

    I shall attempt to destroy the ash cloud via a chain of free radical reactions by releasing and creating concentrated pockets of CFCs into the atmosphere. These should hopefully break down the carbon molecules and minimalise damage to plane engines, it may however greatly exaggerate global warming. Sorry Guys.
