but this phone line will be an instant call out for the police if they think anything is suspitious. saayyy 20 cars and a van rolling thru their little village at 1 at night. so just to warn you that this is happening and i guess if u can help it try and not convoy it up
this has been around in many areas for a while and convoys are one of the main reason raves get busted nowadays. TBH although fun they became obsolete in the mid 1990s when affordable digital mobile phones became readily available
before that although mobiles were around they were risky because the same elderly nosey parkers often had scanner radios, they would grass up the party line and then for entertainment listen to the OB moving in on the party
Try telling this to the people in East Anglia though (where the convoy can often cause more trouble than the rave, particularly when some people drive like idiots)
Actually a relatives partner is on ruralwatch, he isn’t a nimby type but more of a hippy who doesnt like seeing environmental crime such as flytipping etc – there was a planned village hall party in one Suffolk area and they triggered the alert because of it, he actually thought that this was excessive and the crews should have been allowed to do the hall party..
