By my reckoning, you're all South of me and should therefore all be Very Worried

Following on from EoR’s (You donkey - Sorry Earl, just couldn’t resist that one ) lateral thinking.........

How about;

Buzz - Rumour - Second Hand News - Fleetwood Mac – Hampshire, or Surrey airfield even.........Yes/No?

I’m afraid DW, you'll have to be a bit more precise?

Elstree is north of London. London being the centre of the universe for the BBC.

I used to have plenty on top, but it's now going South very quickly. Not sure if I'm in trouble yet though.

I should think there is a lot of operators tightening their belts at the moment is it a solo company or part of a bigger set up

Then there is the next issue I guess......from where I am, if I keep going north, eventually, I have no choice but to go south!

The other issue I need to broach, is the afore mentioned misadventures of said helicopter company, just misguided, or are they from going in the wrong direction, perhaps they have just lost their way, or maybe, just maybe the business really isn't DOWN south, just GOING south……..

OK, I think I hear mother calling………

well, if the company is going south, the books must be in RED ink, therefore Russian, and according to Johns map, it truly is a southern company.

After closely studying this thread (with a bottle of Bells for added mental clarity) I deduce we are looking for a Norwegian Dwarf who is having problems with his drums in the jungles near Fleet. After consulting my 'not-upside-down-map' I see that there are only two jungles near Fleet:

The jungle of Black Bushes or the jungle of Fair Oaks.

If we're to help the little fella and his percussion instrument we need to know which jungle to look for.

DW - can you be more precise?

All over?

Any more buzzing or is this event all over now? The jungle drums seem to be quiet now, have they gone quiet or been silenced?

I was still trying to work out who and where, bit like cluedo.

Personally I think it is the trees lot rather than the bushes. Pretty dire down there at the moment, so I hear ~ VFR
