I return to my regular theme of the perils of trying to get a decent night’s sleep in Pontrieux. I have been a little bit spoilt the past few weekends as I have been spared the 2.30am and 4.30am cacophony of noise. Last Sunday night I was bothered by the tosser playing loud music until 1.00am Monday morning, but I musn’t be too harsh – it didn’t go on until 6.00am as on previous occasions.
My ire today stems from being awoken by a gradual increase in hum of voices in the square at 4.30am. Not the shouts of drunks but of a large crowd gathering. Clearly they are waiting for a coach. Whatever the purpose of their day out, surely at least one of the party might have thought that, as there are over 100 people living on or near the square, it would be considerate to keep the noise down?
I pose the same question as when I frequently witness the appallingly dangerous driving. Is it ignorance or just that they really don’t give a toss about anybody else.
