Anyone who knows Sandgrounders hide will know that whilst not double-glazed it is well insulated when it comes to sound. Indeed, it is sometimes nice to stand at the screen outside when no one is around just for the atmosphere. Anyway, I digress, a young mother came in and was telling her  children to be quiet before they walked inside. I had to smile because it was clearly just a knee-jerk reaction and even better...nobody else was around and the birds had ceased breeding (actually the gulls did for the avos in front of the hide) so they could have had a party for all that it mattered.</blockquote>
