It depends on what sort of search they were undertaking, but if they were using thermal imaging to find, e.g. a child or an adult who was static (i.e. a victim rather than a perpetrator) they might take some time doing this. Assuming they were waiting for any 'possibles' to be checked on the ground then this could increase the flying/ circling time necessary.

My default position on the cops is skepticism, but helicopters are so few and so rare even I doubt they'd keep it flying around for something pointless. It's probably cold comfort when you're knackered, but the imposition on you would have been for a good reason. Hope you can make it through the day okay!

If the helicopter was looking for someone I'm almost certain it would have direct contact with police on the ground so that the person could be picked up fairly quickly. The cost of launching and flying a helicopter is very costly so I believe there must have been good reason.

      This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.

      Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.

      There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.

      I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
