So it isn't only Speedway that suffers from Nimbys - sadly they are all over the place.
Finally - this is well worth a read to demonstrate how Christian Churches are coming under pressure in a 'Christian' Country:

All of this is totally wrong - as is folk moving next to a Speedway Track and then moaning about it.
I'm sure there was something on the News about this a couple of years ago. There HAD been complaints from people about Bell Ringing in a Village in the South somewhere - I can't remember the exact details though.
He certainly does.
Great to read about the 'old days' of and find out what others think. :approve:
I started going to Speedway 50 years ago in 1964 so I experienced a lot of the things that sidney talks about. I always enjoy his Topics.
