Then why are they going off again tonight? Like someone else said in an earlier post, it's been going on since diwali, and really it isnt't fair to expect entire neighbourhoods to 'just grin an bear it'. Some kids will sleep through it, and a fair few will not, and repeated nights of not being able to get proper sleep can turn into weeks of not being able to sleep...agony for the kids, agony for the parents. Once a year? One looks forward to it. Once a year for 2 weeks? One does not. OK, YOU GOT ME UNDER TRADE DESCRIPTIONS, CUFF ME AND TAKE ME AWAY, IT WAS ME GUV. HONEST.
