It could think you were a landing light, which would not be good or you could get thrown into prison for up to 40 years for trying to dazzle the pilot. If you do decide to do this, and either of the above happens, just make sure you are fully dressed! The disgrace would reflect on the family :)SuPinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180040541449486599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-62793360547620065642011-06-12T16:58:44.701+01:002011-06-12T16:58:44.701+01:00ElizT – a friend of mine has a clock that does a d...ElizT – a friend of mine has a clock that does a different birdsong for each hour of the day. Now that is traumatic.<br />Rog – tell me about it! I frequently visit an idyllic remote part of west Wales. All you can hear is generators and strimmers.<br />Soaring – 10.50? My helicopter could just about have reached your area by then.

It wasn't red so can't have been going to Scilly.<br /> <br />And at 10:50 when all good country soles (other than the partying well-heeled) are abed, to be up before dawn to do something with fields (though not us, we knew it would rain today - also, we have no fields), the fireworks started. <br />A splendid display down at the nearby hotel which lasted 10 minutes or so. But I bet the poor local dogs were stirred, & shaken. <br /><br />Now I know where the chopper was going.Richard WalkLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306430776956627549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-81217011145445459902011-06-12T05:35:24.357+01:002011-06-12T05:35:24.357+01:00I've always lived near a railway line but One&...I've always lived near a railway line but One's brain quickly becomes desensitised to the regular trains. Not the heavy cattle lorries, tractors, stunt aircraft or the International motor racing circuit though.
