Car stereos blaring out!

Not all young people - that’s purely your invention.

And I am not, nor ever have been, an ‘entitled’ person. Nor do I lie or dissemble.

And you got past your economical stage and now saving the earth is also a thing of the past, at a time when a lot of people are concerned about it, and revving engines/exhausts....

No, saving the earth is not a thing of the past - but it is greener to put petrol in my 17 year old car (which no longer goes on very long journeys) than to be responsible for the creation of numerous new vehicles during that period.

Ok you did'nt say 'all'- but the implication was there.

I have a 19yo diesel so I win on the planet destroying front. I also like really expensive bed linen

Do you play your car radio at top belt, too?
😁

No, the implication was not there - that would have been, as I said above, ridiculous. The implication is entirely within your own head. Anyway, I thought you were going? You must have run out of insults by now.

Calistemon I turn my stereo down when I’m in my street as not to annoy my neighbours at all other times it’s on LOUD 😅

No could insult entitled selfish people all day long but i have other things to do.I'm going to prepare things for charity to help save the earths resources.(notice JaneJudge told us about her music habits without putting down others.Or boasting.)

I am not, and never have been, a selfish person. Nor am I, nor ever have been, boastful. It’s the way you choose to interpret and twist words. Unlike you, I don’t hurl insults at people who have done me no harm.

This is a very valid argument, we should be encouraged to keep and maintain our cars for as long as possible rather than replacing them with new electric models.
The energy used in manufacture and battery is high and not always eco friendly.

I was the one who mentioned half-wits, as in the lads who drive around here making loud and sometimes flatulent noises with their cars. I don’t share Germanshepherdsmum’s views on politics, cars or dogs, but I enjoy reading her posts and don’t know why she is being subjected to such unpleasantness. We’re all allowed to have our opinions!

I'm going to just imagine gsm and her husband on a tandem.

It saves upsets.

Marydoll..same age as me another rock chic...AC/Dc,Queen,Blondie,Zepplin etc Full volume in the car on my own but defo not outside anyone's home......are you from Glasgow by chance? Lol

Thank you Wheniwasyourage. I didn’t remember saying it but CBA to trawl back through my posts. Sadly, some of them do fit that description and are responsible for a lot of anti-social behaviour, in cars and otherwise.

Ooh, I wouldn’t if I were you MissA. Mind you, he’d insist on being in front so I could have an easy time of it!

Really unsociable at that hour, still people these days don’t seem to think if they are disturbing others. Also people running their engine outside my house yet not moving for ages is just as annoying

I've always liked blaring classical music from my car.
...now I wear hearing aids. Lesson learned a little too late....wonder how long it will take others...?

My hearing is fine. But then my music has never been at what you might call blaring level, at home or in the car.

Guilty as charged 🤣

making loud and sometimes flatulent noises with their cars

I know it annoys you wheniwasyourage but that made me laugh 😂
flatulent noises

I'd love a car that did that!!!

My big scary looking( to others) biker builder dh's pet hate is music thumping from trucks , van and cars. He wouldn't allow any of his drivers to have music on and windows open and has been know to remove keys from other builders vans and trucks on site if they have left the radio on.
It really is the height of bad manners to wake people up because your radio is blasting.

Whatever made you think I was from Glesca? 🤣

Definitely me.
Roof down.
Music full blast
Especially if I’ve had a bad day at work.
I go for a long drive, with music on.
Never fails to make me feel better.

Good for him, grannypiper. I don’t know why tradespeople have to have music blasting out. The decorator we used recently wore headphones - not so difficult is it?
