Wasn't there a posting here some time back from someone moored in Birmingham who was subject to a noise complaint and the council were investigating.

I think if Crt were really goaded to the limit over this, they would send the boater a tersely worded email.

That's a bit much isn't it?  Surely a Paddington Bear style Long Hard Stare would be enough?

'Peeved' always worries me. A 'peeve' is not a word, yet how come people can be peeved, or have a pet peeve?

 

Maybe I'm just being 'gormless', meaning I don't have a 'gorm'!

Gorms lived on that planet Captain Kirk went to and did some clever chemistry to blow one of them up.

Running engines between 8am and 10am, and 6pm and 8pm maximises the probability of neighbouring boats being occupied and thus disturbed. Selfish and inconsiderate.

But on the same basis that's also when a somebody is most likely to be on their boat to run their engine.

 

I agree that where possible it's sensible and neighborly to avoid those times (though personally I don't see a big deal with the evening slot). Being very new to boating, I've only run my engine twice whilst stationary so far (the only days I've been on the boat and not moved or had electric hookup) - once was in town near houses and I was conscious of the noise nuisance given how loud it is when I'm standing there steering - though I went out and checked and it was a lot quieter than I'd expected and almost inaudible to me once more than a few metres away (being a trad stern I don't need to open anything to turn the engine on either). But then I didn't run it for long either as whilst my batteries seem to have been over discharged and not in great nick - a shame as they're high quality Trojans - I'm not using much electricity either, don't currently have a TV and have only run the inverter once. I suppose I should admit that the other time I broke the rules as I got back late but I was nowhere near anybody else and I'm sure nobody could hear me.
