I FULLY support Mr and Mrs Earnshaw's claim that you should not move to a rural area if you are not prepared to put up with things like a cockerel crowing in the morning (January 12).

The cockerels have been there longer than the people complaining, so I don't think they have any right to try to change the area they have moved to.
