Extended till 1900 Mon, extended till 1300 Tue etc etc etc , I am beginning to understand MOL's decision . . . "Sod it , canx everything North of the Pyrenees till 1300 Wed", unfortunately, wouldn't be too surprised if that is how it pans out anyway.
Must refrain from using phrases such as "nanny state"/ covering asses/elf n' safety/ jobsworth No nO NO, but . . . aren't you beginning to wonder ? just HOW dangerous is it really up there Carruthers ?
Well, I wouldn't really wish to volunteer to go up and try it (after you Mr Walsh ) but it amazes me that the scientific wherewithall doesn't exist to actually get up there and collect more samples. Is this not something that could/should have been done ASAP on a vast scale with weather balloons or something ? after all there has been nobody up there to bump into them for several days already.
