No idea to be honest. I was just trying to work out if they were against any noise on a Sunday morning (what’s so special about Sunday?) or were just a common-or-garden racist. Rusty Old-Banger said:

The new glue together lager cans. I get the reasoning behind it and it is better than the crappy cardboard replacements for the plastic rings, but it is almost impossible to separate the cans. Tried today and it ripped the can open spraying lager all over.

king awful sound. It's extremely antisocial to have them clattering away, it doesn't only happen on a Sunday, they tend to 'practice' during the week as well. LandieMark said:

I'll bet you can hang a white tee shirt correctly though.

What’s your view on church bells?
Funny, despite being a committed atheist, I've always loved the sound of church bells.Probably because my aunt and uncle had a church at the end of their road and I used to love staying with them - part of the experience was waking up on a Sunday morning to the sound of the bells when I was there, so I suppose it brings back happy memories.
Today's thing that annoys me beyond reason is the clowns at Dacia UK who insist that there will be a £180 fee - which they say is fair - to diagnose rusty wheels under warranty.
The diagnosis consists of literally looking at the wheels and confirming there is corrosion. No tests or anything like that is carried out.
Thankfully the staff at the local dealer were more pragmatic, looked at the wheels and said yes, they're rusty. No charge.
They then let themselves down by claiming that they're not covered under warranty, but that's another argument which I will be having in due course with Dacia UK.
Why can't it be as simple as yep, they're rusty, you're still in warranty, have some new wheels.

Wouldn't they just rust again ? I know warranty etc, but I'd be tempted by a professional refurbishment and just pay myself.The diagnosis consists of literally looking at the wheels and confirming there is corrosion. No tests or anything like that is carried out.

They may well do so, but it's worth a try. If they rust again I've still lost nothing.

Yes yes yes, I know all of this, Jesus I was seeing if I could get Carlo996 to have a nibble, looks like I've caught a net full.
Because, Captain obvious, it was a 50 average limit. And the ‘professional’ driver, I.e. not very, was sat on my rear end with my cruise set at 53 in the inside lane. Was probably having a fag and checking the online McDonald’s menu….21st Century Man said:
Are they still a thing? Other than a wedding at a picturesque village church I don't recall hearing church bells for years. Just the occasional church clock that still bongs the hours
They are definitely still a thing. The village I live in now has an old church on a hill about 100 yards away as the crow flies. Every Wednesday evening between 7.30 and 9.30 they do bell practice and it's loud as fk. 
There's never any noise from the church at any other time, not even on Sundays. Not been here long enough to comment on wedding events.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
