:eek:
Wild snakes are virtually unheard of in the UK, especially residential areas. Do you live outside the UK then?

LOL, no I live in Cheshire! It was either a grass snake or an adder. I live just outside the town in a semi rural bit. The vet thinks that the snake had laid eggs in the grass pile and my dog was getting too close. Her poor leg didnt half swell up!0 -
My garden backs on to were a railway is and to be honest i dont notice the train at all it is about 30 metres away but they are not very regular.
The planes sound louder than the trains and i live about 5 miles from the airport.
Where i live the road is very quiet and to be quite honest i reckon, it would be worse living next to a busy road.
But i suppose it all depends how often the trains are running and how close you are to the track, i would definately look into that before i move into a house next to a railway line. Saying that i never done it when i moved in:j
I had someone come and view my house and a train went passed and to be honest they wouldnt have noticed it unless i told them that it was there.

too be honest the last three properties i have lived in have been quiet cul-de-sacs and not had much trafic - the trains are certainly less hassle than cars on a busy road. i dont notice my mainline trains going past my house, but when i go back to mums i notice the traffic throughout the night (and i sleep in a room at the back of the property backing onto parkland) give me trains over cars anyday!!!Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"0
