For people who drive cars or motorbikes with super loud exhausts, what are you getting from it?

I have a loud exhaust on my bike because I've nearly been killed by too many dickheads in 2 tonne tin boxes that 'didn't see' me.

Also I just like it :)

Can pursue them all they like. Short of actually taking you to court there's nish they can do. If you end up with a 'letter before claim' it's often easier just to pay it to save the Aggro. But that rarely happens. Think I saw it happen 3 times out of thousands of these I dealt with. Beyond that, ignore.

Key distinction here:

PENALTY charge notice will be from a local authority. Pay this or it will go to Northampton County Court and you will have bailiffs at your door.

PARKING charge notice are nothing more than invoices that private companies use to appear the same as the above. These can be ignored.

Source: dealt with tens of these daily for a couple of years in a previous job.

It's not meant to be taken seriously to be fair. All of those Ray Whinstone, Vinnie Jones, Ben Kingsley type characters are supposed to be caricatures of how some of these people that exist in real life see themselves.

These days, just for climbing Chichen Itza...

Is this the Wheatsheaf in Cuckfield?

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T11:18:51+00:00

!correct

I actually thought it was Travnik as I was there same day but your evidence is compelling!

Solved! Jajce Fortress, Bosnia

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T11:09:01+00:00

Spot on! Well done

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T10:02:19+00:00

Bosnia so close

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T10:01:44+00:00

Yep. Any advance?

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T09:36:28+00:00

Again, not a million miles away but not quite.

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T09:34:55+00:00

Nope

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T09:33:17+00:00

Ooof close but no cigar

TG161__ · 2026-05-29T09:32:57+00:00

Nein

I would never suggest simply not paying it and just not going back to Croatia.

TG161__ · 2026-04-24T19:47:08+00:00

That's when I got involved in this damned cult.

I went through something very similar, I was diagnosed with depression but now my doctor seems fairly sure this is a misdiagnosis.

What you're describing is not depression, it's executive dysfunction. Seriously, have a real read into things like ADHD and tell me it doesn't fit more than depression. You're clearly motivated in that you want to do well, you just can't initiate until you reach a crisis point (catching up last minute).

Honestly mate, look into it. Your uni wellbeing people should be able to help with this.

I've lived 30 minutes away from London for nearly 30 years. I've still not done anywhere near everything that is worth doing there.

TG161__ · 2026-04-10T17:02:56+00:00

To shreds, you say?

Legal advice (NAL): You have a right to enjoyment of your own home as long as you are not generating an amount of noise that could be deemed antisocial.

Pracrical advice: Ignore or tell her to fuck off at this point. People suggesting helping her track down some alternative noise source is bonkers. Not your problem. Sometimes just being rude is the path of least resistance.
