The CAA has approved EMA's new flightpaths - which is good news.
***RANT WARNING***
But not good news, according to the Leicester Mercury, to any resident within the county of Leicestershire.
"Nightime MISERY!" "Rural areas BLIGHTED!"
I don't know who I hate more, local councillors or Journalists.
From having read the "indepth" articles in the Mercury I am left here with the impression that anyone living in East Leicestershire, or in vast swathes of the City of Leicester are at the current time shivvering and weeping over the prospect of those oily, nasty, scary, Armageddon impending dastardly machines (commonly called aeroplanes) being allowed to overfly their rural homes at the devastatingly low height of .....wait for it fearfully.....4000 feet.... cue children crying, women weeping, men getting anrgy and pounding on the local police station's front door.
4000 ft!!! Imagine that!
Personally I feel cut to the core for those even more victimised folks to the south of the glorious city of Leicester who will have to endure those noise mega monsters in a stack - that's right a STACK as low as (cue heavy bass drama music in the style of a Jaws film).....as low as......I can hardly bring myself to type it.....8000 feet! Run for your lives!!!!! AARRRRRGGGGHHHH
I force myself to not think how the illustrious councillors of Castle Donington, Kegworth and Isley cum Langley must steam in total rage in the knowlegde that in or near their own parishes these aircraft things are regularly seen at head heigh - and in Castle Donington Parish - God forbid it - the bloody things actually come in contact with the ground.....unbelieveable I know....but it is true.....I too have seen it!!
Anyone would think there was an airport or something round here!
Please....someone...is there no place we can deal with Councillors and Journos??
****RANT OVER***
