Is this a joke?

Re: Noise complaints – where's the guidelines? (The Sun, March 17, letters page 14).

Is this a joke? This person is complaining about the owner of a large nextdoor property going about his everyday business maintaining his property.

Of course he will be using larger machinery to do this. He is also doing it in permitted hours.

I think this person needs to find another place where there is no noisy machines. eg a retirement village.

Or does he enjoy the view of the large property nextdoor, but not the noise which comes from maintaining said property?

I empathise with them

We have a large shed to fill with firewood for the winter. My husband has built a large log splitter to help ease the burden that comes with the privilege of having a wetback fireplace. It's about as loud as a backyard digger! He is therefore considerate of our very near-by neighbours and doesn't operate it after 5pm. I think it's just common decency to be considerate like that, and apparently so do the folk from the original article.
