[Margaret Pilkington]

It might sound like a miserable attitude, but it isn't really.......the Carnival is a procession and so the noise is distributed......it isn't something that is constant.
And when it does reach the field where it ends I think perhaps the celebrations are less intrusive.
Those folk who live near the Stanley ground know what this entails and obviously are happy to put up with it for 90 minutes or so...if they weren't then they would move.....it is a different kind of noise too.
I'm just very glad I live a long way from this venue....I would hate it to be across the road from me.......and if that is miserable then I can live with it.
