120 opportunities to be woken up then. I am sure some folk here get upset being woken up by a car or house alarm in the middle of the night so a little sympathy would be in order when that happens night after night.
I am sure the council did not envisage 737 freighters being used at night. If they did why did they ban passenger flights at night? Also there is a bit of a difference between what traditionally come in at night carrying freight and now so the locals have a valid grievance.
