Over here, it’s pretty rare to have a car that causes a lot of noise.
A few days ago, there was a car crossing me that was quieter than my cycle’s hub. And it was an ICE.
Only the “sports” cars and bikes tend to be loud and thanks to petroleum prices (and the vehicle’s price itself) are much less in number.
But loudspeakers and fireworks, I cannot bear.
Air pollution? Mine is a smoker’s country. People like me are lucky not to be handed the Darwin award.
Ah, the ol’ pronoun switcheroo
