The Hawk was tickled to hear this ornithological tale. In an effort to make themselves more environmentally friendly, Wincanton Logistics in Brockworth, Glos changed the reversing alarm on its fork-lift trucks to the sound of birdsong. This was in an effort to appease neighbours next to its warehouse, who had complained about the all-night beeping. John Greenhaig of Wincanton says: "It's natural and less intrusive, we hope it improves things."
Sadly, as the Hawk knows only too well, there's no pleasing some people, and one local resident was distinctly unimpressed: "The new noise Is ridiculous. If anything it irritates me even more!"
