bloody church bells!!!!!

[ukminch]

I like trees, but that ones a bit close to the house.........................

[Dean Lofthouse]

Buying a house near a church is no different to buying a house next to woodland then moaning about trees. Sit out in the garden with a cup of tea and enjoy them.

 

On a positive note, you could even join the bell ringers association and get ringing yourself and have the satisfaction of knowing how many people you are annoying

 

I'd just buy some earplugs

yeh the norman tower andy...

i know it's been there for 100's of years but i can't help getting annoyed. it sounds like if mr blobby's voice was translated into bell form. its just horrible!

bells were used back in the day to call people to the church to prayer. now people have clocks and watches so what is the point?!

oh well, they seem to have stopped.

Church bells can sound great but for 4 or 5 hours! That's nowt but inconsiderate imo. Breach of the Peace?!

[Old WoodChip]

Enjoy the wonderful sound of the bells when you can, as you grow older your hearing will start to go along with everything else and you will be glad to sit down and listen to bells and watch pretty girls walk by lol

ok I must be old

yeh the norman tower andy...

 

I dont know if they still allow it, but in my teens they used to allow guided tours up the tower to the top, the view was astounding, and on a clear day you can see Ely Cathedral.

they had a tour this weekend but i only found out about it an hour ago when reading fridays bury free press.....

Might be worth visiting them Alex and asking if they have a timetable of practice sessions so you can be out or wear ear plugs in advance ??

Reckon it's a case of "choose your poison" sadly, we're lucky if we make it to 4 or 5 o clock down this way before the bloody gulls start on mass, if you live int country it'll be farmers/dawn chorus and so on, which is the lesser of two evils so to speak:biggrin:
