IN reply to recent letters complaining about noise from racing motorcycles and cars. I live opposite the church in Badsey and am not a great lover of the noise from church bells.

But I don't go complaining when they ring. Why? Because other people enjoy this noise. Whatever happened to tolerance and goodwill to others?

We are all different, we don't all enjoy the same things.

So try to understand the other side get to know them, you never know you might become a "petrolhead" like me.

PS Anyone with a nice house by a motorcycle race track, I will consider swapping you for a semi in Badsey.
