Howard, all the show's producers, and the very concept of it could do with being put in a very long tunnel....

Never understood this kind of wingeing ****e.


I mean, you _know_ if you buy a house on the North Circular or a railway
line that it's going to be noisy. And I'm sure the price paid also
reflected this.

At the time the chap moved into the house by the North Circular, 41 years ago, it was just a regular street, so it's something that
has happened while he's been living there. It's true about the woman who lived next to Metrolink, however, as it emerged during the
"judging" that she knew full well the line was there when she moved - presumably the property price would reflect this. If you know
what's there when you move somewhere, you've got no right to whinge about it - my parents have lived next to the ECML for 35 years
and I've never once heard them complain about the traffic, as they were perfectly happy with it when they decided to buy the house.

The North Circular has not been a "Regular Street" for many years and
certainly was not 41 years ago. You are talking about 1962 here. The M1 had
been opened from Watford to Crick, with the M10 spur to St Albans. The level
of traffic may not have been today's, but the road was a major traffic
artery, and was the only realistic option to going through Central London
(Which could often be quicker).

My parents went to visit relatives who lived on " *The* North Circular
*Road " before the war. It's obvious a road given a "Proper Name" like
that, as opposed to "Green Lane", say, was always destined to be a
significant traffic artery, like "The Great North Road", or "The
Western Avenue".

I used the N.C.R. to get to work between Harrow Rd. and Muswell Hill
in 1969 and FWIR is not significantly different now apart from some
junction improvements squeezed in.

The bit from the M4 to the A1 is pretty much the same (including a
stretch that's still single carriageway!), although there are some
significant widenings on the eastern sections.

Do we know where the complainant lives?
