Garden trampolines should be banned

[Bluepete]

Discuss.

I hate the feckin things. Our house is at the end of a long V shape of houses that are back to back. We look down the V from our back garden.

There are four families that have kids from about four to fourteen and they all have trampolines. Every evening since the warmer weather arrived, the feckin kids are put on the tramps bouncing and screaming constantly. And I mean screaming and screaming and screaming and screaming until I want to shoot the little feckers!

My kids pay out, play with their mates, chat, mooch, and take the p1ss all at volume levels and pitches that are not guaranteed to cause an adult to want to commit infanticide!

Tonight, I was out sippin a beer, toasting myself in front of my Chuck Norris approved gas bottle wood fire when the dog went mental! Dolphins in the sea were diving for cover and crystal glasses were shattering.

Why?

The little screaming brats were outside! Bouncy bouncy, scream and scream...

Mrs. BP called me inside when she saw me standing staring at them with a razor sharp axe in my hands.

I hate garden trampolines.

Anyone got a Barrett .50?

Pete :(

I hate them too. I'm glad I aren't the only one.
Since the houses got built round the back of us, summer is like living next door to a primary school. The noise echoes loudly and it goes on and on and on until midnight, depending on certain religious times of the year.


I can't wait until this house is sold. In fact I think I ought to put it on the list of priority for the new house.


If I see one trampoline in any back garden , we aren't buying!!

[Littlepeahead]

I was thinking of bringing one to AR in the van... ;)

[dizzyblonde]

Do what you want, as long as its not stuck next to the hotel window!

[Specialone]

When they jump up in to view over a fence or bush, they make a good moving target :)

On a serious note, they should be banned from a safety point of view, everybody I know who's got one, has a story to tell about accidents that have happened with theirs.

Ps, Pete, climb up the police ladder and get yourself a new quieter pad, that's what I need also :)

The one next door blew away, and bent one the arms that hold the net. I was kind of hoping they would bin it, but nope they put it up last week until my youngest nearly fell off when the arm broke.
I wasn't happy.:smt019

As for the one in the other neighbours garden....... I'm thinking of sticking their stupid yapping dog on it and seeing how far into the sky I can bounce it :smt072

How about a nice friendly chat with their parents, asking them to keep the noise down a little? I know this sounds revolutionary but it may just work! Worse than this is adults who decide to drink heavily around their barbecue and then spend the rest of the night f'ing and blinding at a volume that can be heard for around half a mile. Kids are much easier to control but if their parents don't know they are bothering you then they won't do anything to quieten them. You don't have a problem with trampolines, just noisy kids. Do you know if the noise of your bike bothers your neighbours?

BP get your kit off and get on a trampoline - that would change your view!

Yep! It would be from behig bars!

Pete ;)

PS, my Tiger is on original cans and is so quiet Mrs BP often doesn't hear me coming home.

[cb1000rsteve]

There ace. The 19 year old bird next door had her mates round over the weekend and they played on it. I watched. Perfect?

[Fallout]

Trampoline ain't the problem, it's the parents. When I used to make noise as a nipper my parents would tell me to shut up to not upset the neighbours. Annoyed me at the time, but taught me to be aware of the people around me and have the same fun quietly. Snipe the parents with that 50 cal.

Mmm, maybe wait for the kids to go to bed then. :-)

Plus 1 to that, my kids (who do not have a trampoline by the way) would be in serious trouble if they made too much noise in the garden.

I doubt yours, like mine, would be still bouncing around at midnight, but the ones behind me do!

The kids next door( with the yapping dog) trampoline a lot, but you never hear them. I just count up how much it's going to cost in fence panels when they play football :rolleyes:

Don't mean to be snide but shouldn't motorcycles be banned by the same logic?!

Everyone I know who's got one has a story to tell about an accident that has happened on theirs.

Unless that was the joke and you were just being very ironic?!

Deadly serious, masses of 8 year olds don't ride motorcycles.

[Teejayexc]

And here's me still holding the belief that when an officer of her majesties constabulary knocks on your door and has a quiet word all is soon well with the world.

Is this not so anymore?

[timwilky]

Oi, it is my job to be the org grump.

Kids playing in their back gardens making noise. Disgusting, they should be in their bedrooms playing xbox or surfing porn like proper feral monsters.


Become a community champion, re open one of the Wigan pits and send them down there to work where they belong.

Used to, but sold it ages ago. Must be getting old eh?

Yeah you are Pete but I think you'll still younger than me :(

[Ch00]

I've just come back from level 2 training. We could go and do the door?

[dirtydog]

We have a trampoline in our garden but it's only a very small one as Libby is only a small person. The kids next door are very noisy sometimes and even Libby asks us why they're so noisy. She's come to the conclusion that boys are stupid, not bad for a 5yr old!

I agree with previous comments of going and speaking to the parents first

[punyXpress]

. . . provided free outside every dwelling 4 storeys or more.

in the US, many insurance companies will not insure homeowners that have trampolines, apparently they are a big risk with huge claims record

Would it be an issue if it was a load of female pole dancers topless? Nope didnt think so...as you were

If anyone suffers from this particular problem, please let me know asap :smt041

[Littlepeahead]

I'm thinking at the AR we could get Dave Preston in one of these, let him drink several units of alcohol then test the theory discussed in this thread but on a trampoline instead.

I think the bounces would cancel out, 10% cancellation rate per unit lol

I'm shopping for a trampoline for the kids, it'll be big enough for adults though :)
