the constant noise is driving me insane . Sometimes it's 2 or 3 at the same time . I know it's London and I suppose I've become inured to the airoplanes ,sirens etc but not this incessant high pitched whine .


couldn't we co ordinate and have the odd strimmer free day ?

Strimmers are a pain on a summers day... especially petrol ones...


... A 2 stroke strimmer gives out around 95 to 110 decibels so hearing protection needs to be worn


Also with all the grass cuttings and dust for anyone nearby who suffers with Hay-Fever it can be very unpleasant.


Very anti social ..

Sadly, grass grows :)


Very quickly at this time of year :(


I guess that's why people have paving, decking and bloody astroturf.


Personally I'd rather hear a strimmer outside than loud music, people in the same garden having a conversation by apparently shouting to each other or, as recently, piercing recorder "playing" from someone who couldn't play it.


Yeh I know, grumpy old woman.

"Sadly, grass grows "


The thing is ,once the expanse of overgrown grass is strimmed couldn't a lawn mower be used to keep the grass down ?


It's the high pitched whine ( rising even above that of my own voice ) that I can't stand and the use of strimmers in plots near me seem to have replaced lawn mowers .

I'm all for children learning instruments, but preferably not at top volume in the garden.


And I believe this was an adult :(


ETA: If I believed in karma, which I don't, I might think this was retribution for my learning the melodeon. But at least I don't play it very badly in the garden :))

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
