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)

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!

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?".

    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
    • Has seemed really empty over the past few weeks, with hardly anyone in the store on Thursday lunchtime, have I missed something or are people shopping somewhere else?
