This is absolute nonsense. Hundreds of thousands have their lives made a misery by Heathrow. Probably as many more across the country have their lives blighted by unsocial behviour from pubs. There is absolutely no reason why people should not have a civilised night out at the pub - but about 90 percent of pubs (observing in the south east) have electric music blasting so that no-one within hundreds of yards in a residential area can have a conversation in their own gardens or put childrn to sleep a sensible hours, oafs gather outside the pub to smoke and at all hours of the day or night discuss at levels comprehensible for a hundred yards and in group audible for two hundred who they fucked where and when (in such terms), what drugs they prefer, who sells them at the best deals, who smacked a copper and legged it, who drunkenly drove whose stolen car into a ditch, who shanked who and who torched whose gaff.

The selfish bastards are the people who want to go to someone else's back yard and do there what they don't or can't do in their own.

Not long ago one oaf was outside a nearby pub hooting for his mates to come out for their lift - at nearly midnight. I went out and demanded his address so that I could go round and hoot outside his house. Guess what? "Go home grandad before you get hurt"

That's the sort of people these petitioners are.
