Well done Dezzie for having the bottle to tell him.The thing is he could have been a nutcase and turned nasty,this why a lot of people will not say anything,especially with all the knife crime we read about.
You can never be certain how an individual will react when confronted.

At easter we were up at brucies cave when someone on the site decide to blast out coldplay at 1am. It was on the other side of the site so thought someone else nearer to the noise would say something. About ten minutes passed then the same person started playing a harmonica.

Eventually I had enough, got my shorts on and walked to the other side of the site and sacastically said to the man sitting in the entrance of his caravan, drunk as a skunk  "hoy Bob Dylan, can you keep it down some of us are trying to sleep". He apologised and that was it, no more noise. I saw him next day, and he apologised again.

Sometimes you have to say something!!!

Why is it that so many people, when camping, are totally oblivious to other people's need for peace and calm?
I need peace and calm to survivelike most people need air to breathe.
Why is it that others do not respect this?

My OH is exactly the same. First sign of noise and she instantly gets annoyed.....and if anyone wakes her up in the middle of the night......

Hi Dezzie, I think it was the same bloke , second caravan up from the bottom of the tent pitch, same side as kids park, I think they call it the orchard area. Thing is I spoke to the bloke next day and he's a really nice guy when he's not had a drink.

Most noise doesn't bother me, it's just living noise, babies crying always bring me out in sympathy, dogs love to bark, people like to talk and laugh and most music is Ok.(rap is NOT music)

Two things though drive me nuts, guitar cumbaya group singalongs and snoring.

IMO there are 2 kinds of noise. 1.Natural unavoidable noise and 2.Antisocial avoidable noise.

1. being, snoring, babies crying, even some giggling and talking, burps and bottom burps too, kids playing - (you get my point)

2. being loud techno bass heavy music, drunken adults using abusive language loudly in the early hours, couples argueing publiclly - (generally anything that would offend and make you scared in anyway).

If you are offended by the any or all of number 1, then with the greatest of respect, camping is NOT for you. Each and all of these noises occur on the majority of campsites - even adult only ones. (especially the snoring,bottom burps etc).

If on the other hand number 2 offends then you are on the right track and there are many folks who agree. Lets make a stand against it.

And the way to make a stand isn't by hiding in your tent complaining about it.
