[fractionater]

[beef]

10.15, still going on. Anyone got a ground to air missile launcher? I need to shoot down a clown.......

[lilolil]

Dont know if connected , but I saw that a car window had been smashed in Underhill Road close to the junction of Henslowe

[Mikecg]

Just like plod to turn up 24 hours after the event.

They're still buzzing overhead here in Ivydale Road, maybe it's something to do with Jacqui Smith, paparazzi trying to get photos of her in her pyjamas.

I wish they'd go away, it's doing my head in.

Apparently a clown with a wheely suitcase is trying to abduct Jacqui Smith....

Well done - 10:35 - they've gone.

(This is probably a silly question, but what can they usefully see from up there? They were doing circuits of Nunhead and Peckham Rye, from a fairly great height, so they weren't following a vehicle. How can they tell a villain from the citizens of Nunhead - this is not joke question, pls refrain from Nunhead-unfriendly responses)

[jocelyn]

This always happens! At least once a week!

[nunheadbelle]

They were checking that every citizen was in his correct zone, all Nunheadians in Nunhead and all East Dulwichites in East Dulwich, no crossing borders at this time of night, curfews and all that.:))

[boomerang]

good response nunheadbelle - I defected from ED in Sept and am totally happy this side of the rye!! :)

[Louisa]

Maybe the home secretary became nervous after discovering she had strayed too close to Peckham in her car and is in need of a helicopter to safeguard her journey into ED to buy a kebab.

LOL ....As if an EDulite would be in Nunhead

Welcome Citizen boomerang (tu)

Aha! that's why the helicopter was hovering, an EDulite tunnelled out of ED and into Nunhead, popped up somewhere in Nunhead Cemetery... found it very peacful.

I have to say, I am always confused by these threads, as a previous poster stated, there is at least one police helicopter hovering over ED/Peckham/Nunhead/Camberwell every week (I can see all 4 areas from my attic window!)

Why do people seeem so surprised by it? This is London!

[red devil]

Have you never watched Sky Cops?!

Probably someone doin' a runner, heading for the duck pond...

you'll never catch me copper!

Why always skirting the issue? They are after the lotharios and you all know it.

I also find that these helicopters head over to the dutch estate in dulwich at all unsociable hours for hours on end - can I find anyone to complain to as this wakes the family and I spend hours trying to get them back to sleep only to find its now time to get up!!!!

[bigbadwolf]

Oh sorry Michelleb, we'll just ask them to politly turn their engines off whilst hovering over east Dulwich shall we. I think basically what happened is that the home secretary was flicking off in her big subsidised couch when all of a sudden there was a knock at the door. 'Could you spare me some change for baby food please'. The home secretary handed over a tax payers bluey and sent her on her way. Upon realising that the begger was black and there for obviously not a constituant of Worcester she called special branch. "Jacqui Smith hand over money to the poor, pigs will fly", "really, well whats that helicopter doing there?".
