EVERY day for two weeks now I’ve had the “pleasure” of being woken by the wonderful sound of a crowing cockerel at 4.45am - NOT.

It is now getting monotonous and I would love to be able to sleep undisturbed until my planned time.

Some may think this issue trivial but if I had wanted to be woken by such a racket I would have purchased said cockerel to keep my chickens company, but I didn’t and why didn’t I?

Because I have neighbours that I like very much and don’t wish to upset them.

Please could the owner take note!
