Bellringers are living on borrowed time. It will only take one
determined individual who is not prepared to compromise to bring
their
edifice down. They shouldn't push it.

So according to you, you have the right to shut down centuries
old traditions because you personally don't like it?

No, not me. All I have is the right to complain if I feel the
noise is a nuisance. If I do, the local authority has to
investigate it and see if my complaint is justified according to
standard protocols. If they decide my complaint is justified,
they will issue a 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.

Well, it hasn't been allowed now for the last 26 years.

Church bell ringing is still allowed today.

Only if the noise it creates is not a nuisance.

Wrong.

What is wrong, the fact there is a law governing their use where they
cause a nuisance?

Perhaps it's time you caught up.

Nothing to catch up.

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.

Like slavery? Child prostitution? Little boys up chimneys? No
compulsory education? No votes for women?

Nothing like.

No complaints allowed?

Those werent changed by some prat like you complaining about them.

No, they were changed by lots of prats like me complaining about them.

Like hell they were. They were in fact changed when particular MPs
chose to get enough other MPs to change the law on that stuff.

Or, as I prefer to put it, by lots of enlightened people like me.

Nothing enlightened about prats like you that are actually stupid
enough to show up where churches have been ringing bells for
centurys and try to get them to stop doing that and get the
authoritys who have been stupidly given the responsibly to
consider the complaints prats like you make, tell you to shove your
complaint where the sun don’t shine in appropriate bureaucratic language.

Centuries? Husbands have been beating their wives for centuries? Does
than make it allright?
