RSS FeedErupting in anger at our greedy insurance firms Times & Star

I AM writing this last Thursday, so who knows what might have happened in the ensuing week.
Who, for instance, won the political party leaders’ debate on Sky TV?
Did my daughter manage to get her flight to New Zealand last Friday?
Are the planes still flying?
Are all those stranded holidaymakers back home?
Or have we all succumbed to a new fall of volcanic ash?
The saga of the ash was hanging around, but by the end I was about to erupt like the very volcano that caused all the problems in the first place.
It was because my daughter was supposed to fly out to New Zealand on the first weekend of the closure of the skies over Europe. She hadn’t been home for 10 years, her brother and sister-in-law had organised time off work, and her friends were preparing reunions.
But she couldn’t go because of the ash cloud. It was disappointing, but I know that it would have been more than disappointing if she had been told that it was safe to fly and it turned out it wasn’t!
