HORROR of horrors. The vile vuvuzela trumpet is heading our way.

The infuriating world cup horn is likely to become another nuisance for the noise haters among us to endure.

I’ve read that Sainsburys have bought 75,000 of the blasted things and are expecting to sell out.

God forbid. It’s bad enough having to put up with the infernal din emanating from the box without worrying about them appearing in next door’s back garden.

I haven’t heard one supporter who has appreciated the continual noise of an approaching swarm of giant bees, yet the racket has become the number one down load on to phones.

They can’t be banned from the World Cup, they are the sound of the African tournament, but for goodness sake bar them from our sports events before they get a hold.

And if any are blown on our streets permission should be given to shove them down the owner’s throat.

Vuvuzela means welcome, unite and celebrate in zulu. Very fitting, but keep it as part of the African culture and don’t introduce it into ours - please. The kazoo is bad enough.

The BBC has received over 500 complaints about the sound of the horns and is considering showing coverage that cuts out the noise on its red button service.

Well that’s something.
