If this business would get it together and make the changes they need to for it not to stink, I would be extolling its virtues to my community, instead of the other way around.ICQBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634452093934367498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-43420769080084941892009-03-30T17:09:00.000-04:002009-03-30T17:09:00.000-04:00This is very sad, especially as I'm in favour of '...This is very sad, especially as I'm in favour of 'green' alternatives. It's helping the Environment at the cost of yours!!! The attitude of the person you spoke to is outrageous, they could at least try to show a little respect!<BR/><BR/>So sorry for you :(Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696026498050233726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-55994381192479080702009-03-27T20:29:00.000-04:002009-03-27T20:29:00.000-04:00Hi Jane and Jo and Adrienne!Yes, I've been complai...Hi Jane and Jo and Adrienne!<BR/><BR/>Yes, I've been complaining about the stink to the city council for several months now, but nothing has happened. <BR/><BR/>I even got so fed up with the stink one evening last fall/winter, that I marched over to the business and told them that their green grinding stinks and that every time I smell it I send off an email to the city council.<BR/><BR/>They weren't scared. In fact the man behind the counter never took his feet off his desk the whole time I was there.<BR/><BR/>And today my email to the city council included a link to this post so that they could hear a little bit of the noise. I told them that I wished I could post what it smells like over here sometimes.<BR/><BR/>They are "looking into it" and will "contact me" at some later date.ICQBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634452093934367498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-50990900752725056062009-03-27T18:10:00.000-04:002009-03-27T18:10:00.000-04:00Oh, no...it's scary to think you have no control o...Oh, no...it's scary to think you have no control over this. When we moved in we had a view, but we knew it was short-lived. At least we knew there would be houses there, not some commercial annoyance.<BR/><BR/>Maybe as aromatic said, (ironic name, BTW) there is some way to complain...?Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583029102450754497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-83254727513916761342009-03-27T12:54:00.000-04:002009-03-27T12:54:00.000-04:00Dear Linda,I share your pain and know what you are...Dear Linda,<BR/>I share your pain and know what you are going through.<BR/>And one never gets used to it. For us it is low flying heavy aircraft, like pilot training for fuel carriers, with the kerosine fumes falling down on us.<BR/>Noise (engine) is bad, fumes are bad and the combination can drive one round the bend.<BR/><BR/>Visually our setting is idyllic, like yours. That is what makes it even more unbearable. Way out in the country is not enough to guarantee a healthful environment any longer. And to have it spoilt in the name of eco-friendliness is even more galling.<BR/>jojocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08443120495036936430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-33533671530572161952009-03-27T12:53:00.000-04:002009-03-27T12:53:00.000-04:00Oh my god... that would drive me insane!!!

How on earth do you put up with it.... ??<BR/>The noise is just awful and its even drowns the bird song out.... and as for the smell.. well just thinking about it makes me want to heave... <BR/>Is there anyway you could complain about this... some sort of environmental agency.. if not for the noise factor the smell surely is unacceptable and if its encouraging vermin then that is really bad news....<BR/>Please keep us posted..<BR/>With Love, Jane (Basils sends doggy kisses to Strider!! xxx)aromatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447370086320779186noreply@blogger.com
