"village people get on my tits;"

I have to be honest, neighbours of any kind get on my tits. Which is why, in the Re-Imagined Village - as in reality - my house is on the outskirts and on 'the wrong side of the tracks'.

"Power Stations
Windfarms"

We live within sight of Drax, the largest coal-fired power station in Europe and yet, when someone wanted to put up a couple of wind turbines, there was a huge outcry. I asked one of the objectors if she thought there was the same protest when they wanted to put up the windmill in the village? Personally, I can't see too much difference - or does age bring acceptability, as with the pit winding gear that is now the stuff of nostalgia but which we though of as eyesores not too long ago?
