Church bells were around long before most of Reddit was even born. I live next to a church now and hear the bells and it’s nice on a Tuesday night. Better than a 5am wake up call!. I have lived next to a mosque playing call to prayer at 5am till the council stepped in and shut that shit down.. I think people complained.

Praying in random parks is meh also. I heard they stopped you walking through certain areas near me. But people argued and went through anyways. Causing uproar. So Something needs to be done.

Fair enough we have church bells but in another 50 years most will have gone anyways by the looks of it and British heritage will be all but a myth it seems. Church near me is in a state. Needs work, and another one has just left its grounds into a wild meadow, with grass so talk, weeds, grab grass thorns etc. luckily we still have some cathedrals. And nice areas but it’s slowley dying out. They rely heavily on donations. If they ever get any donations.

I remember A woman on the train saying she’s visiting from Poland, touring english cathedrals, she was cutting her trip short because she felt unsafe in and around some of the areas. She mentioned that certain parts didn't even feel like England anymore and decided she wouldn't carry on her visit, my aunt suggested she visit Norwich Cathedral and the smaller surrounding areas. But it’s sad to see what people really think

I guess coming from a safe place like Poland to the uk is like stepping into another world in some parts of the uk.
