My Sister, who lives in Fulham, London, told me yesterday, during our conversation regarding them, (Drones), that there are very strict rules regarding their use over the City of London!

I can foresee that there are going to be problems with their use in public, private, and restricted places!

....not everyone's cup of tea!.... :roll: ...!
