> The show was sponsored by ‘Jessops’ the camera shops, they have seen a market for drones and are attempting to ‘go for it’

I think the reason for Jessops having seen a market is because:

1. Peter Jones owns Jessops
2. Peter Jones also now owns [DroneSafeRegister](https://greyarro.ws/t/dragons-den-last-night/3756)
3. Peter Jones likes a gadget

It all fits quite well really (well, for him anyway).

I can’t help felling Peter Jones will now push the drone safe register to CAA as being **_the_** place we all need to register in the future 🙄

Their reply was to fly with common sense, and use the drone code if it seems an area is congested at 1pm on a sunny bank holiday Monday, then it might not be ealier in the day or later in the week, so then it’s ok to fly at those times. It would seem the CAA and the drone laws are trying to work for us.

Agreed - [CAA definition of 'Crowds and built up areas'](https://greyarro.ws/t/caa-definition-of-crowds-and-built-up-areas/4767)

It’s a philosophy I try to live by in all aspects of life 🙂
