Noise, noise, NOISE!

There is no escape! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Tues, 24th May I had a new boiler fitted, so a day out. On the 25th the roofers came to replace next door's roof - bang, boom, bang, crash, morning till night. Because of the weather this went on all last week. :roll:

This morning the council have started demolishing the garages on the green just over the road. There is a digger with one of those big pneumatic chisels on the front, a bulldozer and any number of tipper trucks taking the spoil away. :shock:

I went away to Becky's for a few days last week to help her pack as her tenancy is up and she is moving back to mum's till she goes to NZ. I was hoping to come back to peace and quiet - how wrong was that! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Don't tell Mrs O, she'll want to come and drive it! :D

Down our local tip, they have a tractor with a gert big spiked roller on the front which they use to flatten down the rubbish in the skips. She says one day, she's going to hi-jack it ..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

The weather's set fair, WM, so probably a lot more building work noise to come .... :(

We've had the cement mixer going all day, a digger at 7.30 this morning and the kitchen fitters have only just left :shock: :shock: :shock: And they do like to bang doors - handles are obviously something they've not used before :twisted: :twisted:

I see that Marks and Spencer are now stopping the playing of canned music in their stores.

That's one step in the right direction, me thinks.

I suggest some ear plugs, Frank.
