Bagpipes for me- I have tried to understand them but as a person who has dabbled with musical instruments for years they are unfathomable. Yodeling has (did have) a practical purpose in communication and takes great voice control - I may be biased as I have Austrian blood

Yodelling.


I can listen to a pipe band longer than I can a yodeller.


However, I suspect I'd find both equally irritating if there was a learner within any vicinity of me... then again, any musical instrument can be excruciating to the ears in close proximity (i.e. the poor piano being abused in the flat below even now)

Yodelling is exceptionally more irritating than bagpipes will ever be.


Mind you if your only experience of bagpipes is an unaccompanied, out of practice and out of tune piper trying to make a quick buck at a tourist spot then I can see why you'd dislike them.


Yodelling is right up there, along with Gregorian chanting and tubular bells. A frightful dirge.

    • It's interesting how local businesses and the people that own / work in them are not considered part of the "community". The dictionary says "a group of people living in the same place" as the principal definition. Why are we forced to accept a secondary definition where those who don't live in social housing, the vast majority of people in East Dulwich, are told to shut up?
    • They often grow in the angle between wall and pavement which could cause damage to the foundation of the wall and leave the council open to being sued.
    • If weeds are allowed to grow for too long they lift pavements and create obvious tripping hazards. Obviously removing them from your wall and/or garden is unacceptable. 
    • This is NEXT WEDNESDAY 11 June! Just turn up if you prefer not to give prior notice! The Palmerston from  7pm, turn left as you come in! (If you have been hiding under a rock, The Palmerston is the pub on Lordship Lane on the corner of North Cross Road).
