No, not me. All I have is the right to complain if I feel the noise

abatement order.

What's wrong with that?

Its stupid that any prat can complain about something
that has been allowed for centurys and the local
authority has to investigate every time that happens.

I suppose you're the sort of person who thinks they can beat their wife
and children with a stick "because it's been allowed for centuries".

You suppose wrong. The law changed on that with the wife.

OK - just don't live near me. Ever.

Why? If the law says I can complain about a nuisance, who are you to
say otherwise?

Someone who realises you should be allowed to
complain about what has been allowed for centurys.

Quite, no one complained about slavery for centuries as well.

That didn’t change because a prat like Norman complained,
it changed when the law was changed.

Yes, the law is a great instrument of social change when required.

It is the only viable instrument for that.

The Environmental Protection Act is just another example.

A useless one. If it is considered by the parliament that
churches should no longer be allowed to ring any bells,
that should have been explicitly stated in that legislation.

Now you are not allowed to create a noise nuisance just because you always
have.

Churches are however allowed to continue to ring their
bells and are even allowed to add new bells and even
get really radical and add bells to churches which do
not have them too.

It's called progress.

Yours is called bull****.
