[00:25.75]I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. [00:33.99]The airport was built years ago, [00:38.36]but for some reason it could not be used then. [00:43.76]Last year, however, it came into use. [00:48.69]Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. [00:55.18]I am one of the few people left. [00:59.25]Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. [01:06.18]I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, [01:11.64]but I am determined to stay here. [01:15.13]Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
