My that's a big Chopper

Relaxing in the park is meant to be a quiet time but the other day we (a group of us at work) were sitting having lunch in the small bit of green grass in a square near the office, behind John Lewis on Oxford Street when, we became aware of a helicopter in the area.

We watched it for a bit as it circled around quite and then left.

Next thing we knew the chopper was back as it appeared low over the top of the buildings at the edge of the square.

'My that's a bit low isn't it!'
'Yeah'
'Looks like the Air Ambulance'

at this point a siren started coming from the copper

'Er its getting nearer'
'Yeah, that's quite close'
'Oh Crap its going to land here!'
'Er I think we better move'
'...'
'Yeah, lets'

So our lunch ended in an unusual manner. It got very loud and very windy and all the people in the park scattered and the helicopter landed, in order, we found out later, to help someone at a car accident on Oxford St.
