An Age of Magic

The most annoying sound…

Sorry, but the most annoying sound of all to me comes from way back in the 1980’s when many cars owned by young males all had turbo engines.

They were loud, drank a lot of fuel and required a lot of revving first thing in the morning…especially a COLD morning. Our neighbour had such an engine in his car. He left for work at 6.30am each day and for about 20 minutes prior to leaving the garage he had to run his engine so as to ‘warm it up’. So, for four years, we woke up - whether we wanted to or not - at 6.35am five days a week.

Thank god people are more sensible nowadays.
