Letter: Missing mince

WE REGULARLY see policemen in uniform stopping to buy snacks in shops, so why couldn’t the pilot of that helicopter just be left alone to quickly run an errand (your report, 21 April)?

These days, we seem to be surrounded by snooping twitters who just can’t wait to have a minute of fame on YouTube.

However it’s getting pretty bad when these dismal movies are also watched by some of the dourest jobsworths in authority.

Is this the best use of their time? Should we have yet another investigation?

Or, to save time and money, could we conclude that the pilot’s boring old boss was just a bit peeved that the crew forgot to collect his weekly pound of mince?
