I should explain that a "banger" is not something which makes a noise, but something which looks as if it will collapse.
Therefore, lorries park in my constituency, and we suffer from a few old bangers as well.
This limits the explosive content of bangers which in effect limits the noise of the explosion.
That is a charter for the old banger.
The small banger is increasingly being treated disdainfully and used by youths as if it were a home firework.
I am aware that there are bangers and bangers.
By banning bangers, we have gone a long way to answer most of the complaints raised in our surgeries.
But the result will be that an increasing number of these noisy old bangers will move to smaller airports.
