Oh so quiet...
« on: 17 April 2010, 09:25:17 »

Well i thought all those people who live near an airport would have a nice peicefull weekend, must be such a relief for the poor unfortunates.

I didnt put myself in that catagorie though as we live in Reading. But i really cant believe how quieter it is with no planes flying. More so i cant believe how much noise we're used to and take for granted/accept.

Now if we could just turn the motorway off that would be great, thanks. ;D

Remember, though, that the "poor unfortunates" tag could also be applied to those who are increasingly likely to lose their livelihoods as a result of this.

Except weekends in the summer, when everyone gets in their small planes at Turweston and Hinton.

I keep looking on ebay for SAMs, but the Taliban are snapping them all up :(

I can see a lot of people having to consult with their psychiatrists due to withdrawal symptoms!! "No noise, no noise, I can't stand this lack of noise!!" :D :D :D :D :D ;) ;) ;)
