We live near the University of Warwick on what sometimes feels to be the main north/south route for private helicopters with a steady string on traffic. Whilst most helicopters are a minor annoyance, an increasing number make their presence known by both noise and a physical sensation. It is sometimes necessary for conversation to stop for 30-60 seconds. I have trouble believing this is deemed to be acceptable
I'm relieved that Tony only complains about the minor one minute long interruptions to conversations made by private helicopters ... I wouldn't like to hear his rant about us during this incident;

Warwick University responds to Tile Hill shooting - The Boar

Several Tile Hill residents complained on Twitter about the noise of a police helicopter flying overhead during the hunt for Mark Cullimore, 34, who was involved in an armed stand-off with police in a block of flats in the Tile Hill area at around 2pm.

Still, the voice of reason always wins through;

I'd rather hear a police helicopter for 8 hours, than have others hurt/killed by gun crime on my doorstep
