Ash Cloud over Europe

All you folks in EU. How's the sky look with the ash cloud and all? My wife's cousin was scheduled to come in from Italy yesterday and now they're saying Monday. Said the planes can't fly with all the ash. Is it settling all around you or just looks like a foggy day? 2012 is just around the corner. Hmmm...

Smoking volcanoes which drop ash in the City of London face an £80 fine in a new crackdown on litter.
Every day about 70 tons of ash is dropped onto the City. They are accompanied by lighters, matches and cellophane wrappers.

Now 10 environment officers will be prowling - and issuing the fines to irresponsible smokers. Those who give false details will be fined £1,000.

Keep Britain Tidy described dropping ash as "lazy and disgusting".

Chief executive Phil Barton said: "Smoking litter looks terrible and is turning our streets into a giant ashtray.
"Clearly, many smokers have yet to be convinced that their ash is litter, so they need to get a personal ashtray or use the bins provided."

He added: "There can be no excuse for throwing ash on the ground. It's lazy and disgusting."

Philip Everett, director of environmental services at the City of London, said: "We're taking a tough line on smokers who litter our streets.

"We expect this campaign to have an impact on smoker's behaviour, if not their purses and wallets when they are caught."
