Where we last lived, Axbridge in Somerset a couple bought a small terraced property in the main square, just by the church. Next thing they wrote a complaining letter to the council, demanding that the clock be stopped as it was disturbing them in the evening and nighttime. They got very short change and moved!
In Saudi Arabia no matter where you live you'll have a mosque within a few meters of you. Believe me, when those loud speakers kick off five times a day, the first being about half an hour before sunset, you know all about it!
