Not Many People Know That.

I’ve no desire to lay waste to anybody’s treasured image of the English rural idyll, but I thought you might like to know what the two commonest sounds are after dark in these parts.

You might expect them to include the owl hooting from the wood, the dog fox barking across the valley, or the snapping of twigs as little furry creatures go about their nightly patrol. Nope. The two commonest sounds are:

The rumble of planes going to and from East Midlands Airport, and the flatulence of horses in the fields.

Sorry about that.
