Campenology. Why?

[RDM]

Ok. I’m currently staying between two cathedral things. I understand, maybe, that in the olden days
That the religious nutters of the time would use
big F off bells to summon the peasants from the
Fields to come and be indoctrinated. Yes. But
This is 2019. Shut the fk up

[Nerdherder]

Well, get your annoyed ass the hell out of there I’d say.

I did campenology about 20yrs ago as part of my gold duke of Edinburgh’s award (skill) and I loved it - it’s actually really good fun and definitely a skill to get a tune correct!

[Pericoloso]

Bell ringing in GG.
Whatever next ?

I wish you’d coach those at the church near me. Sunday morning church bells are quite a nice thing... but when they get it more wrong than right, quite annoying.

But I agree. It’s 2019. Anybody heading for church is going anyway and doesn’t need the prompt. Anybody not planning to go, is not going to go. So I vote mute them, totally not relevant.

Because it's so terribly British & those of us of British birth, from an unbroken line of Britishness are proud & respectful of our history. Don't like church bells? then move away a long long way away.

Unfortunately I’m working here but I can’t really reply with a sound bite of this cacophony to explain the racket these wkers make. The question I’m asking is why? If I stuck speakers on the roof and gave it 100 dB of Slipknot the cops would be at the door.

Why can you annoy the planet with this st just because some tt thought it a good idea in the
Middle Ages?

Next week, motor racing circuits are loud...

I should imagine the PH response would be why did you move next to a cathedral if you don’t like bells?

Indeed, what next, I moved to the countryside and farmers spread muck in the fields and it smells?

[Pericoloso]

Most Italian villages have a church.
The bell ring every half hour.
I like that.

Stayed in a little place not far from Fort William a few years back, pretty much a farmhouse, two or three guest cottages..

Oh yes, and the bell tower that the owners had built.

Apparently the place was permanently booked in summer with campanwhateverthechuffs travelling from all over the country to see this mystical holiday let including a bell tower for them to annoy people endlessly.

Most holiday lets would settle for a ping pong table...

Some people don't like the noise made at Motor Racing circuits:

Pull the other one.

You don't like campenology. But you like cars that go like the clappers.

Go figure...

Says the bloke from 'Jockland', where they blow up big bags of sheep bladder and blast the noise though half a dozen recorders !
