Sorry to hear that about Old Town, Diane, It used to be quite vibrant tourist spot with some good antique stores there and some cafe for cream teas. I guess the recession has got to them. I hope it doesn't go into disuse. There are some quite old buildings there.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-72636985352059132932012-07-22T14:53:19.165-07:002012-07-22T14:53:19.165-07:00Hi Chris, The street scene is actually Bridlington...Hi Chris, The street scene is actually Bridlington Old town - i'd never been there before. It has som fabulous old buildings but nothing much is done with it and it looks very much in danger of becoming run down.

Sometimes the neighbor does something wrong and it goes off and the whole neighborhood goes off too !

But the one that I absolutely cannot abide is car keys in the ignition w/the door open. That is quite possibly my least favorite sound in the entire world. I'm pretty laid back most of the time and can take an awful lot in stride, but that infernal racket could push me over the edge in a matter of seconds.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065470321265371781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-29519023263359603592012-07-18T20:27:47.561-07:002012-07-18T20:27:47.561-07:00I think you have covered all those beeps and alarm...I think you have covered all those beeps and alarms pretty thoroughly, - I was amazed at how may we unconsciously accept.Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-3141523114757660692012-07-18T20:20:45.056-07:002012-07-18T20:20:45.056-07:00Well I never thought about all those alarms before...Well I never thought about all those alarms before!
