I think you are all right. I live at the North end of "Mig Alley" between the Luton and Stansted Zones and on a sunny Sunday, if I'm not flying myself, there's nothing better than a cool drink, the Sunday paper and my binoculars watching the light traffic dodging the zones. And yes today was very quiet. One PA-28 from Panshager and a Spitfire heading North and that was about it. Strangely yesterday was quite a lot busier but there's no doubt people are feeling the pinch. I did an hour's local on Friday and never heard or saw a soul.
