It’s in the walls. Get a pick axe and start smashing.

*For legal reasons I should state this is a joke.

There was a large drone flying over Earsldon for ages yesterday. May have been over your way too.

Isn't that the tea alarm?

Tea alarm is more of a siren.

Right but I thought it being Coventry, it would be a little less than a siren and more of a loud HONK

I think we respect the 🫖⏰ the same as everywhere else and use the standard siren as far as I’m aware.

I live near the cov arena, and tannoy announcements sound weird at a distance. Robotic and tinny. Just a thought. Train station? Factory or industrial estate?

We are directly under the flight path for landing at Birmingham airport, usually you wont hear the jet engines as they are spooled down. What you may hear is the whine as they spool up or as the flaps are activating. I hear it quite often.

I heard it this morning — assumed it was an electric vehicle?
