What are all the sirens for? (Lounged)

[timtim]

What's all the commotion? Never heard so many sirens. And two helicopters overheard. Hearing all this from Barry road area, but it sounds as though is going from LL

We are at the top of Barry Road near LL - agree it appears to be LL area - heard the helicopters but just stuck my head out of top windows back and front - all quiet on the western front now. They were having a band playing at the Plough tonight- perhaps there has been some agro. Mind you we usually hear the punters quite clearly even with TV on- so could not be the Plough

Also hear them, kept me awake for some time. We live behind Barry Road, about mid-way down. They sounded like they were right overhead but was too sleepy to look out of the window. Does anyone know what happened?

Damn, I never heard a thing. Slept like the dead, I live up that end too!

I heard so many sirens and everything also, we were wondering what the hell was going on, it must have been something big!

[pearcesa]

I heard a loud bang, then sirens, then the helicopter, I wasn't sure where it was coming from!

[Amelie]

I heard it over Belvoir Road as well, at least 3 outbreaks of excessive and unnecessary use of overly-loud sirens and then the police helicopter joining in just for the hell of it.

At least teh sirens and chopter lasted for a relatively short amount of time, unlike the booms and cracks of the fireworks which are a normal noise, it seems, from October onwards. Ban them, I say, apart from small ones that should be on sale for two weeks only. Nero

luring Greek sailors?

The helicopters were transporting troops into the 'Nam - Syde-'Nam!
