The Ash Cloud - It's not all been a health and safety over-reaction, has it?

Oh dear. It would appear that the concentrations of ash from the Icelandic volcano in the air over Europe are so negligible as to pose no risk at all to jets.

Crivens.

Could it really be the case that government regulators have over-reacted, to protect their own backs, and with no financial consequence to themselves, but crippling the entire European travel industry in the process, and many other businesses, including my planned week-long trip to Singapore which I've been looking forward to for weeks?

Oh no, that couldn't possibly have happened.
