Is it time to extend the quiet period to 8 am?

AD, this is the 3rd day you &/or TG have posted re ‘overseas’ & made unfavourable comparisons to C&MC sites & its Patrons. It’s unfair & it causes animosity followed by deletions. We all know you both are not fans of C&MC sites but some of us are. No one denigrates European Holidays in the Overseas section. It would be helpful for you two to be as respectful. No offence intended but it is becoming wearisome☹️

As an insomniac I would say we don't need more rules, just more consideration for others.

That is another good suggestion👍🏻, we need a happy drink inventing to enable tolerance & consideration😊

As most of us enjoy our UK breaks in one form or another the subject of noise isn't a major concern. Noise disruption can happen anywhere, do your homework applies too. You will occasionally  get unexpected noise on any sort of holiday.

Summer is here, going off in a van is an outdoor adventure, enjoy it. 

I the many years we have used sites both over there? and mostly in this Sceptred Isle, the problem of being disturbed by early leaving or other than bird song ,is so rare it it not worth a mention 

How careful one has to be re noise will of course depend on the ambient. Our last site (Aire) was in a town and by 7:00 the little motorbikes beloved of the young had shattered the peace.😂 A few years ago we visited the Gatwick site, you could have had your TV on full and rolled your waste master about from very early and nobody would have been any the wiser.

When this thread started I made a bet with myself that sooner or later a post would be made that abroad sites are far better in this respect than club sites and lo and be hold I was right. It would appear that even silence is (far more) golden over there.

But in reality I've found campsites in Italy far far more nosier than in the UK and certainly much later into the night as well with people sitting outside their outfits. 

As said it's all about consideration and club sites are a a haven of peace and quiet compared to those..

I disagree with this (as covered in more detail in my post above on page 5). In my view background or ambient noise does not give people the excuse to make excessive noise. Moreover, having stayed at Gatwick three times, a site I used to really enjoy until the buses from outside were withdrawn, I can assure you that I would be very much aware of campers with their TV on full or rolling a waste master from very early.

But, in fairness, I do accept that, my tolerance of noise is perhaps different to many. Noise that no one has control over does not tend to bother me. But noise created by people who should be showing more respect and consideration drives me to distraction. I guess I am just different!!
