hell no, it might upset their delicate elderly stomachs. we live in an area where the biggest industry is rest homes and retirement villages. Buying a house in the are is well out of reach of your average young home buyer. The youngest child in the street is 12. Unfortunately the area has attracted the horror grannies, we all know the ones. The ones who moan because it makes someone talk to them. They dont care if its negatively or positively, someone is talking to them. They are cranky, inflexible, dont like dogs, children, people, food or anything else for that matter. They petition local government to make legislative changes to further their cause in seeking a quiet undisturbed existence. They forget that once upon a time they had friends, made noise, had children, had cars and socialised with other people. Since they have decided its time to grow old and die quietly everyone must be quiet around them. Its always amazes me how many partially deaf old people have acute hearing when it comes to youth. Please, please dont let the cranky's take over your neighbourhood.
