Police Helicopters
25 Mar 2012

What is the country coming to. I'm appalled at this disgusting, depraved behaviour. -it's time we put a stop to it. Watching peaceful couples indulging in a little external hank-panky from the bird's eye view of a police helicopter - and probably filming them too. Whatever next?

And the South West is the best region for Solar PV electricity production - theoretically every house could be a generator to cover its own needs and feed back into the grid - dramatically cutting dependency on carbon-fuel based power stations
