Andy, erratic flight maybe not, they don't shoot one way but then the other....but, and its a big but, not knowing where they land, or not knowing at what point the drop out the sky, makes them completely uncontrollable.

2 points of this are, if you stand in your garden, you can guarantee that the direction of the wind is not pointing towards a building of higher flammable content such as a thatched roof, plus no-one can guarantee that a change of wind direction doesn't occur.

I like them as much as the next person, but this is a debate and im just justifying my points, i hope they do stay, but if people kick up a fuss, there is plenty of negatives to give the state ammo to restrict there use.
