    Are you suggesting a ban on junk takeaway food ?

    We're getting very off topic now, but I don't see anyone bending over to accommodate anything here. The fact is that they have this lifestyle, they had it before the drones, and short of banning all forms of delivery from takeaways, they'll continue to have it. Your posts on this particular subject are verging on fixation and contrarianism very quickly,

    The privacy thing is a non runner - cameras/ CCTV almost becoming normal in many areas now.

    There are no CCTV cameras pointing into anyone's back gardens.

    A lot of people have their houses decked out in cameras. Your neighbours to the back and side of you can see into your garden and windows. That's why we pull the blinds down if we want privacy.

    I don't know what part of D15 you live in and what your neighbours are up to but none of my neighbours' houses are 'decked out in cameras'.

    Sounds like drones are the least of the issues wherever you are.

    Drone deliveries are here to stay. The people who don't like change will have to move their concerns to real issues.

    I'm not really bothered by them. Unless there starts to be a lot of them. If that happens it would be a problem for me.

    I'd say those most vocally in support are those who live nearer to the periphery of the delivery zones, who see few beyond those delivering to them, vs those who are being overflown multiple times per hour.

    Maybe.

    That's really an issue for the authorities to examine the flight records to see if thats true, and if so take action.

    Seems to be a lot complaining from people who live no where near one. They are louder than the drones and will probably get it shut down. TBH getting a Coffee of fast food by air isn't something I need or would miss.

    They should monitor car deliveries too, some race drivers among them.

    Certainly maybe as a sociality we shouldn't facilitate bad choices. Fast food, delivery traffic by air or road.

    Only making a rod for our backs.
