If you can't stand the heat....

The Fatalist has posted on a subject which is close to my heart, noise. Or, to be more precise, silly old cunts complaining about noise. His post relates to some prick moving into an area where there is noise from aircraft flying into and out of Heathrow airport. For your information, no new airport has been built in this country since 1944. Nearly every civil airport in the UK is formed on former RAF air bases. True, many of them have been expanded and redeveloped over the years but, that is where they [almost all] derived from. Some are expansions of the few pre-war civil airfields / aerodromes [Croydon, Yeadon [Leeds /Bradford], Prestwick]. Yeadon, now called Leeds / Bradford International was a fog-bound gras strip on top of a hill. It was in the middle of nowhere. Then came WW2 and A. V Roe, or AVRO, as it came to be known, built a huge big factory making Lancaster Bombers. For obvious reasons, the factory was sited out in the middle of nowhere. Almost immediately after the war, the place reverted to a civilian airport. Simultaneously, apparently, some silly twat started developing the land around it and, as the saying goes, "if you build it, the people will come". As with all airports, silly cunts who live next to them, complain about the noise of the aircraft. Didn't they notice this when they bought the house? It's not exactly like buying a Wimpey house with a countryside view from the kitchen window only to wake up one morning and find that Wimpey have built another 500 houses on the other side of your fence.
