Sussex police Helicopter woke us up at 05:19

[Firefly]

Its funny that in 2014 people get excited by a Helicopter!
Try living in London, I used be woken almost every other night by sodding Helicopters.

If a thread ever needed a "Cool story bro"...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

It's just the O/P's way of telling us that Important Things Are Going On in his world, even if he actually has no idea what they are.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I got woken up by an OWL. Does that count?

 

[vegster]

Yup.

The chopper flew over BN1 and HB&B woke up (and stayed awake seemingly).

Always one with the big stories HB&B........are there any floods or storm-wracked beaches down there worth checking out from the air?

Excellent use of my share of the community charge/police subsidy.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Will these tiresome "nothing" threads never end?

You should be aware, there are a good proportion of readership on this board that don't live anywhere near BN1 and so don't give a flying [see the pun] ****.

HB&B, suggest you tune in to local radio - if its newsworthy, it'll be on there. Or as someone else suggested, follow the chopper on Twitter.

But for the love of god, please, no more of this drivel on here.

I rang their base & asked them to fly over the area at the crack of dawn just to annoy HB&B.

Sorry about the taxpayers' expense & all that

Sorry to hear that. If you are struggling to get back off to sleep try reading some really dull poorly written newspaper articles. I think there is someone on this board who used to open his anus and let big slippery stools slide out onto paper and then present it as journalism.

If you can find him and ask him for some of his articles then I think you will be well on the way to the land of nod within 5 minutes!

No need to apologise Edna, can that area be used regularly for training flights if needed ?

If it sounded like a noisy helicopter YES
If it was just being Owly......probably not.

HB&B still points at them. Aeroplanes turn him in to a gibbering wreck.

Impossible. Sussex police don't have an owl.




(They share two with Surrey and Kent - allegedly.)

 

[seagullsslimjim]

I'm surprised he didn't stand in his garden and shout at it...... "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!!"

They were too busy waking him up to look for floods !

Searching for elderly lady from Hastings that wandered off in the night possibly

Excellent use of my share of the community charge/police subsidy.

Community charge was replaced by Council tax in 1993.

 

[Boys 9d]

Don't we share it with Surrey & Kent? I know it's based at Redhill now.

I thought it seemed quieter in South Lancing.

If the OP invested in decent windows and insulation he would'nt hear them and could continue his slumber in peace, I do.
