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

North Circular and trams were there before the people moved in. The
woman with the trams said she didn't really think about the trams when
she moved in. Like duh......
As for the CTRL............. I too would be a bit worried to see the
earth open up and swallow my garden. Don't they check these things
before they start digging huge holes?

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.

My thoughts exactly, and I have similar thoughts about people who buy
houses under the Heathrow flightpath and then complain they get planes
flying overhead. Although I think it is very different for the man
living by the North Circular (which just so happens to be my email
address) as in this case he'd bought the house when it was by a two
lane single carriageway.

It was also different for the people affected by the Channel Tunnel
Rail Link. The tunnel passed underneath their house and caused a
massive hole the size of a house to appear in their back gardens. Not
only did this ruin their gardens and put lives at risk (luckily no one
was hurt, but if someone had been in their garden at the time then
they'd have been in serious trouble) but it also caused structural
damage to their houses. They had no reason to expect this would happen
when they bought their houses and even if they'd known about the rail
link, they still couldn't have expected that sort of thing to happen.

I had no sympathy whatsoever for the woman living by the tram line
though. She'd known about it when she bought it and gave a weak excuse
along the lines of "I liked the garden and the size, and the trams have
got louder since I bought the house". If you're worried about noise,
don't buy a house next to a tram line! Pretty simple, I'd have thought.

Nobody, so far, has mentioned that there were apparently old wells at the
back of the house and it was they which had caused the void into which the
house almost fell. True it might not have happened if the CTRL machine
hadn't been boring under the gardens but it would be nice if people would
give ALL the facts occasionally !!

Why different? According to your line of reasoning, one shouldn't
complain about increasing interference unless you moved in 40-off years
ago when it was a rural idyll. It's an argument I'll enjoy using twenty
years from now when the fifth and sixth runways are being pushed through
at Heathrow.
