I don't get that either, and it was only Friday/Saturday night where it ran late, it gets cut at 2000 on Sunday.

Unless Wasing Estate hosts many events through the year?


The mentality of the main complainers last year was that they had paid a lot of money to live there, and pay their council tax blahblahblah, so why should they put up with hippy scum like us even for one weekend a year? :roll:

This is one reason why the bribe option may not be viable, presumably they think they are 'worth' considerably more than whatever the organisers offer them...

a quick google of some of this info would suggest that the daily mail reading moaners had most problem with sound travelling south east across the trees....
perhaps Simone should try some accupuncture to relax.... :whistle:

personally I had a cracking time

Thing is, given that her complaint started on Thursday, it must've been InSpiral she could hear. This begs the question: Why not just...chill?

I remember reading the complaint letters from two years before, the letters were so sniffingly middle class and pathetic they actually made good comedy, e.g, one couple couldn't even go in their conservatory for a whole weekend, although i was heartfelt for the couple who complained that they had to close the windows at night to be able sleep, poor bastards, middle of summer as well, but it is after all our own fault for disturbing their idyllic lives for one weekend every year, so shame on us :P

Also, 90 drug arrests, only 2 for burglary, pift
Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?

Apparently alot of peeps in nearby Tadley could here it so that makes the complaints ratio a lot lower. :-D

The fact is that the sound will always travel in one direction or another. :(
Well you guys know what it's like... You just keep doing what it looks like your supose to be doing no matter how crazy it seems.
