Does your drone have a life of its own?
Hope you see the funny side.

That looks like it's 984' AGL to me - I think I may have to tell the Mirror

Nah! MSN and don't forget to tell that ditsy reporter so he can make up his own story.
PS. actually its 30 metres above the headland take off point, 400 metres out, but it looks more dramatic the way you tell it.
I enjoy our little banter.

Hahahahaha - I'm sure I can see the Queen down there. Remember, we can't fly higher than 4 feet or it is 400 - who cares, as long as it sells!

Good one. Perhaps I should send Roland Rat and Clementine for tea. Earl Grey and cucumber sarnies...

Absoultely dangerous!  If one of those critters fell off, they could go right through someone's roof.  And should one of those falling critters hit say a jogger, instant death from above.   No wonder we get such bad repuations.   For Shame!

Elfin Safety Regulations require that the passengers require seat belts. If they were my cuddly toys I would also want them to have parachutes on their backs - poor things

Some say it would just be a drop in the ocean, others go through the motions, but what happens when it hits the fan?

She says to him, "What's that up there, my Royalness? Is it one of those ghastly drones taking photos on me on my sun bed?"
He said to her, "The drone is the least of your worries, my little starlet. They only have one wide angle lens camera. The real problem is those frightful passengers in the planes over our house with their powerful zooms. That and the 737s that just can't seem to keep it up.
She says to him, "Ah yes, I wanted to talk to you about that..."

Hahahahaha - it does actually amaze me. Heli's fall out the sky quite frequently killing those onboard yet they fly over my house scanning what little land is left to build on quite frequently and being in North London there are constant planes over head going to Gatwick, Heathrow, Stanstead etc. We also have President Trump coming here for a state visit with the Queen in a few months time - no doubt a fleet of drones will be around for his arrival according to the tabloid press... Brace yourself!

Yup! there ought to be a law against it.
It's not as though it is something vital, like a Pizza delivery or my-stuff from Amazon, is it?

Yes, brilliant idea, send up the drones, not real ones of course, imaginary ones. That will keep the riff-raff out.

No doubt they will have a photographer in Manchester ready to spot it in London with his super lens!

Hadn't thought of it that way.   Frivolous uses of Drones should be outlawed.  Such usage only promotes risky and dangerous behavior.  Obviously drones need more government oversight.  More rules and regulations...
