Glastonbury Helicopters

Boy there are some selfish people out there. I’m talking about helicopter pilots who aimlessly hover or circle around above, nothing better to do than annoy people. When you get a break from work, you need some peace and quiet, not some selfish git with a helicopter pilots licence who wants to disturb everybody’s right to peace.

I’ve got no problem with helicopters or planes which are actually going somewhere, they fly overhead on the way to their destination and that’s it. At the weekend we were over Glastonbury way and it was amazing to hear a never ending stream of helicopters or light planes circling around and around, or hovering slowly overhead, one after another, all day. The noise could be heard for miles, it obliterated any calm, and these pilots, who must know they are disturbing the peace, just carry on regardless. At times there were 3 or 4 in the air overhead at the same time, and think some people on the ground were hoping for a collision. It must be hell living in Glastonbury with this constant racket going on every day.

Me, I just wish these selfish helicopter pilots would just use their machines to go somewhere useful, and not annoy the hell out of others by causing noise nuisance.
