Pipe down! Brussels slaps a noise order on heart of Scotland


THEIR high-pitched skirl has put fear into the hearts of Scotland’s enemies and sent sensitive tourists reaching for the cotton wool.

Now, however, the bagpipes are to be quietened by an edict from Brussels.

From this month, pipers must adhere to strict volume limits or risk breaking European Union health and safety laws. Bands have been ordered to tone down or wear earplugs to limit noise exposure to 85 decibels.

COULDN'T RESIST!!  bagpipe joke  

A piper had his bagpipes in his car, he had to stop at the mall to get something.  After he got into the mall he realized that he had left the widows open in his car.  Fearing the worst, he ran quickly back to his car, only to realize that the ultimate worst thing had happened.  Sure enough, there was ANOTHER set of bagpipes in his car.
