Lost for words

Why has someone cutting grass on a Sunday morning made you lost for words ?

It hasn’t, its a play on the British stereotype.

It’s actually something that’s less of an issue due to modern double glazing but still one of those antiquated things I still do.

Maybe it’s more out of fear of annoying a neighbour in case of any disputes in the future.

Anyone else still do it or are we all early Sunday mowers now?
 
Mate of mine had this problem all the time , as he was a shift worker
He would just get to sleep and everyone started cutting the lawn.

So he used to do his at 3am until plod stepped in and told him to stop.
There was a meeting and neighbors agreed to do it in the afternoon.

11am on Sunday is not early but some people don’t know there’s two 8 o,clocks in a day.
 
3am is bang out of order. Being a shift worker you have to accept that you are on a different time schedule to 95% of the population.

11am on a Sunday seems perfectly alrite.


I hate anyone being loud between 11pm and 7am, I live in an apartment block and people always feel the need to shout in corridors and slam doors...
 
Our neighbours like to pose on a sit on mower plus have the petrol strimmer. Often out at 7.30 am at the weekend and 11pm in the dark #obsessed
 
Quiet mornings on a Sunday are something in my distant past, I have lived next door to a church for the past 30+ years. Having kids does change your mental attitude to quiet and late mornings.
 
it's interesting as to where we get our times. For me 9am any day of the week is the cut of time. B4 I am annoyed .....after this knock your lights out
 
Don't work weekends but once a week I'm cutting at 8 am and other days it's 8.30 .

In my farming days had plenty of 3 am starts but where possible tried to keep away from houses till at least 6 am.
 
Me, I can't believe the times folk believe its acceptable to have their groceries delivered...

Living at the bottom of a cul-de-sac, as I do, the main issue is the poxy reverse warning alarms...

They should be able to turn the noise off. We had a dpd driver deliver to us at work on Friday. His van gave a warning when reversing and I commented that I had not heard that for a while on a vehicle. He mentioned that he turns it off when delivering to domestics before 9am, there are still warning lights flashing though before h &s people get excitable. Nice bit of courtesy I thought.
 
A Couple of days ago some guys out front were making a right noise, I thought it was the bloody idiots who are laying a block paving drive next door. Got up about 8.00 and realised it was the wonderful Coal merchants delivering me Coal 😁
Only beaten by our recent stay on Lake Como, 50 yd away as the crow flies was the local church. We were woke up at 7.00 am on a Sunday morning. By the church bells. It was 44 o'clock.😳
 
I tend to wait until about 10.00 before doing noisy jobs like mowing. Next door, and those across the road have new babies and so try and be considerate towards them. To be fair everyone on our street is pretty respectful when it comes to noise
 
Have no problem with getting the petrol mower out after 9 on a Sunday.
As I get up at 4:20 every weekday, being up early (for most) is normal at the weekends, likewise I don’t complain when people are in their garden making noise at 10pm when I’m having to go to bed.

Been having some electrical works done in the street down the road for the last 2 weeks. Nothing seems to get down during the day, and everything at night including road cutting, diggers etc etc. The traffic restrictions and temporary lights remain all the time, and can only assume it’s a way to boost overtime.
 
8am is fine to cut your grass. Anytime after then. If people are still in bed at 8am on a Sunday they are proper lazy.

Should be on the golf course by then!
