I have to 100% agree about the lawnmowers! I live near Farnbourough and so we get a reasonable number of low flyers and chinooks. These are noisy but....the biggest cause of noise pollution are lawnmowers, roadworks, handheld drills, hedgeclippers and motorbikes!

Oft is the time, on a balmy summer's day that I install my favourite deck chair in my not too short grass, close my eyes, MEEEEEOOWWWWMEEWWOOOEEWWWWEEEEEEEWMMMWWWEOOW, lawnmowers for seemgly bl**dy hours. Every bl**dy weekend of the summer. Once one guys gets his out it is a calling to all other owners of a wide variety of petrol and electric mowers to strut their stuff! A short pause followed by the hedge clippers. Then time for tea then the DIYers are in the garage drilling and banging until early evening. Oh, and whilst I am ranting, as soon as the weather is warm in this country, everybody seems to think it is time wind up their stereos and wind down/open their windows....grrrrr :mad:

Oh and being near to the Army training grounds we often hear a lot of automatic gunfire...and the chinooks. But our boys in green need to stay sharp so not a problem with me :)

Aircraft really only add a small amount to this concopheny. But now I have this off my chest I feel much better :D

Shhhhhhhh!
