Heard on the BBC radio news this morning that the Bull's Head in Barnes, SW London, home of nightly jazz & blues for many years and Humnphrey Lyttleton's base: he plays there monthly, had been threatened with thousands of pounds of soundproofing by council demand after a neighbour, who's only been there a few months, complained about the noise of even acoustic sessions.
I suppose if she'd moved next to a railway line she'd have written to ask Railtrack to stop the trains. It's like people who complain about cockerels or church bells that were there long before their house...
(Stop ranting , Roger, it's thread creep. OK I'll shut up!)

(At least Jagz only has the railway to contend with!)
