Quote: But how long before they moan about you moving through the lock. We already have some around our way moving in by the village church, then complaining about the bells on a Sunday morning, wanted them stopped.
Where I used to live (Carshalton, Greater London - not the quietest of places) my church was ordered that it couldn't ring the bells for more than a total of 5 minutes on a Sunday morning: about 1 min 40 sec prior to each service. No such order was made against the railway station 100 yards away, which continues to make similarly long audio announcements twice every 15 minutes.
And don't get me started on what happened to Coombes boatyard in Bosham....
