While searching online for comfort I read that two-thirds of people in Britain are stressed by neighbour noise.
Christ, they must have a top notch stereo to upset 2/3 of the population!

One mans Weekend Harley Davidson ride is another mans Sunday morning nightmare.

The U.K. is generally a quiet country, even in the centre of big towns. Try living in Cairo or Mumbai. I’d go mad.

I was sent to Cairo once and absolutely hated it. I stayed at the airport Novotel and was driven out to Alexandria to meet somebody my boss wanted me to visit. The road was filthy and the only redeeming thing was the huge ships on the canal looking like they were sailing through the desert. I got up at 02.00 to catch my AF flight home and there was a band playing loud Arabic pop in the lobby. I paid my bill and went outside for some peace only to discover that there was another band playing loud pop in the hotel garden. Couldn't wait to get out of the shithole.

When I worked in the States I was living in rural Pennsylvania on the edge of Amish cou try, but for work often had to drive into Pittsburgh. Made my head spin.

Why? The contrast?

There's a common trait many Asians have. Their homes will be immaculate (no outdoor footwear worn indoors), but they regard anything outside their gates public wasteland.

There are ~50 countries in Asia with a combined population of between 4 and 5 billion people, its safe to say that 'they' or even 'many of them' are unlikely to have a common opinion or attitude to anything that doesn't apply to any other region.

My uncle likes to tell the story of the time many years ago when he had invested a small fortune in a top of the range Pioneer stereo system for his Escort Mexico MK II and was proudly demonstrating how loud it would go to some random guy outside a pub who promptly replied "I'm glad my car's not so noisy that I need a radio that loud to drown out the rattles!" :laugh:

If I had been fortunate enough to own a Mk2 Escort Mexico the only music to my ears would be the sweet sound of that engine and exhaust :okay:
