The original landing area was in a public park with people playing football there when you wanted to land. They usually move........ but let me tell you a story.......... Last week, we were tasked to a secondary landing site for a patient transfer. The patient was critical and an operating theatre was staffed and ready for him. At the pick-up point we approached to land, however a 6' 3" shaven headed, wild looking man refused to get off the LS and we had to orbit until police arrived 15 minutes later. He was a very aggressive Polish chap who 'patrolled' the LS doing an exercise workout of stretches to pass the time. When the rozzers moved him, we landed and called the patient forward. I asked the Polish chap who was now watching with his wife, kids and 2 dogs why he had done it and did he realise the consequences, he replied: "F**k Off!! It is your problem!". That is why a dedicated pad is good!!
PS. He didn't have a UK driving licence so the rozzers seized his car.....
