Welcome to the EU Alert!
The Telegraph (UK) provides a grimace with Church bells are silenced in fear of EU law:

Complaints by new residents have silenced the church bells in a small country town after the vicar feared the chimes could be breaking European law.

The bells at St Mary's Church in Totnes, Devon - England's second oldest borough - have sounded every quarter of an hour since a civic subscription scheme paid for the clock to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.

But a small group of residents - believed to be newcomers - have protested that the chimes stop them sleeping at night.

"Amongst the old Totnesians, there is a certain amount of fury that I have silenced the clock," said the Rev Nicholas Martin.

"But I have been advised by a lawyer friend that the European Court of Human Rights has said people should be guaranteed the right to sleep free of noise, light or smell pollution.

"I felt therefore I had no alternative but to silence the clock, as technically we could be in breach of the law. I don't know if anyone would have taken us to court, but European law is becoming more important."

I suppose the Rev is a little shy about asking them what part of "ingest excrement" they don't understand.

And "smell pollution"? Looks like the end of baked beans!
