Winter

[Skippy]

I can't wait for winter - I'll be able to go out in the garden without having to listen to either the chavs and their children down the road shouting about, or the child the other side screaming constantly!

Why can't people show some consideration?!?!

I'm lucky we've no children around us so no children noise, we're plagued with music lovers. I personally don't listen to any music but don't begrudge those that want to but keep the sound in your own house!

Hubby went hammering on a neighbours door last Friday night at 11:30pm to shut them up, the church is always making a row when they have a function. I need to move but don't envy anyone with lots of young children around.

There are a few children around here, but to be honest we rarely hear them.

The house next door is empty at the moment and it's been heaven! Fingers crossed the new neighbours will be complete opposite to the last lot!

I can't moan I always have granddaughter here and sometimes she goes off in the garden singing her heart out....well she thinks she's good and can go on Britains Got Talent as my hubby told her she can and she believes everything at the minute!

No kids by us as we live in a field(well almost). Lots of tractor noise at the moment as they harvest and hedgecutter worked overtime last week getting ready for Glorious Goodwood.Foxes most night calling to each other and then at the crack of dawn, or as I call it shot gun o clock the birds start up. Its so peacefull in the country NOT but I wouldnt change it for the world.

Sounds idyllic to me Carole, I'd live there any day, I used to love my location but not of late x

I was born and bought up in Wolverhampton West Midlands.I was always a towny until I married and moved down south.

I want to move to a village which is around 4 miles from me but will need to win the lottery first I think! x

I hate the winter and the cold. We're lucky that it's quiet where we are.

I'd live in the middle of nowhere given the choice!

[Skippy]

I hate the cold and the winter, I just hope it might keep the kids indoors!


I know they have to go outside and play, but the continuous shouting and screaming gets on my nerves. I don't know what's worse, the noise the kids make, or the noise mummy chav makes when she tells them to shut up (insert swear words liberally!).

The ones that leave the baby to scream aren't chavs, they seem quite posh - obviously think they are better than the rest of us!

[kallis3]

The kids next door to me play out in either their garden or the street regardless of the season!

They're not too bad though so we can put up with it!

[New start]

We have millions of kids around us, they are out morning noon and night! Now i have a 9 yr old myself so i have no problem with them playing out, but it is when they are still out at 10.30 that gets me!

The other night it was lashing with rain and they were all still out! They probably caught their death but the parents didn't seem to care!

My daughter was inside by the way and not out with them!

[Shining]

I went to a local town yesterday which is known as 'chav town' and aptly named I thought after yesterday, I took granddaughter to the park and there were young ones alone and swearing and I felt intimidated by 10 year olds! Granddaughter oblivious as too young to realise but daughter and I kept exchanging glances! I never normally comment on anyone else's behaviour as each to their own but I don't think these children were cared for to a very high standard and they certainly had no parental guidance.

[kallis3]

My town is pretty much like that as well Lesley. I think we must be the fat capital of the world as well as there are an awful lot of morbidly obese people around,the majority of them either kids or young adults.

I can see them all having terrible health problems in years to come.

Well I live in Armley in Leeds, think that says it all really......haha [:D]

Dog rough where I live sadly. The kids play on the top of the hill that is at the back of my house and make a right racket which makes it hard to sit out or have the windows open.

Agree kids seem to play out later than I did 20 years ago, we were always in for 8 or 9, House Rules!!!
