Why do some folk insist upon everyone listening to their choice of music ? We are pitched on an end corner of a beautiful site, on a beautiful evening and I actually thought there was a carnival in the village nearby. But no.. its some total ar$e wanting to share their choice in modern dance music with everyone here. Lord knows what their immediate neighbours think! Live and let live ! Not.
So I have suggested to my better half that I should purchase a set of bagpipes for such occasions and just take a 10 minute lesson in fully inflating them and squeezing through any notes whatsoever. Then ramble up next to him and offer a deal following a quick squeeze. Any better suggestions ?

We've just been sat out in our beautiful new to us garden and all day we've had to put up with the music from next door's conservatory music system. Given that half the time they were cutting their lawn with an electric mower or trimming shrubs with an electric hedge cutter and couldn't hear their own music, you wonder why we have to listen to it.

It annoys us because Mrs SDA is a very experienced choral director and we don't subject our neighbours to her or any body elses music, so why should we be subjected to theirs.

Forget the bagpipes just get a large 🔨 hammer. It really winds me up but Bev won’t let me retaliate with even louder music back. Some people have no consideration for others. God knows technology these days they don’t need to be wired up to anything. If they want it loud then stick them wireless ear buds in their lug holes and wack up the volume. Rant over Morphy

Why didn't you ask them to turn it down? I'm such a grumpy old lady I would!!!

I've complained twice [on different campsites] in Spain when people played their music too loud, both times they got assy so i just said I'd call reception to come and talk to them, they both turned it down to a reasonable level, what I don't understand is that other people on the site thanked me as it hat been going on for weeks, why the hell had they put up with it?

That’s a sad but true reflection on the state of the world Roger. I’m a complainer, like Islay but my kids tell me not to tackle people for fear of their retaliation. When did people become so aggressive and intolerant of others?

Back to the original post, go for the bagpipes, it’s a great idea. Irish pipes presumably?

I'm thinking of getting the wlectric leafsweeper out to teach them a lesson and gather up the leaves. There seems to be a lot dropped for the time of year.

Moira and I stayed at a walled garden site near Oban in September 2019.Every evening at sundown an old gentleman in a bwb came out and played his pipes, on one day he wore a kilt.I quite enjoyed it, it was different and who am I to complain in Scotland.He only played for about ten minutes at a time!

The other issue we have had this summer is the number of people playing ball games on site. We have seen football (of course), tennis, cricket and even rugby. I seem to remember some years back when wardens were not just parking attendants or motor mover jockeys. They would take an occasional walk through the site to say hello and give the odd nudge to the loud music gang and point the ball players at the sports field. I’m maybe just being grumpy but it doesn’t take much to rearrange the shiny aluminium on the outside of your pride and joy.

Our last camp we had a guy that liked to play his ukulele whilst singing over a pa system in his awning. Lucky is was for one night only, just as well as he was going to get a loaf sliced bread on his roof..

Winchcombe camping club site, early evening, looking towards the far hills where a magnificent lightning storm was entertaining us sat with a glass of falling down water and enjoying the show.

Meanwhile on a pitch not far away a group of people had gathered in the awning of a WWB and were gently singing (badly) to some vaguely tuneful guitar strumming when

Bang followed by a panicked shout of FIRE, dropping the wince and grabbing the bucket of water kept for the purpose (of chilling the wine) we ran to said van.

The fridge had exploded out of the side of the van, fortunately for the singers on the opposite side to the awning.

The first known example of a WWB committing suicide.

So to solve your music problem get a guitar go outside the noisy van and sing Kumbya or similar.
