I would think the people who live are on the flight path at heathrow would love aircraft to be grounded for 8 months.

Re: Volcanic ash cloud on its way
 

there was a mist in the air this morning down London way (I live just round the corner from Heathrow) can't tell whether its volcanic ash, fog, or someone having an early barbecue
just had another look after cleaning my glasses and its completely GONE.
