Dear neighbour, we only live next door, you know where we live so please come and let us know as we don't read the forum and if we don't know that it's an issue for you then it'll only get worse.


(It's not us by the way, our children are locked in a soundproof room until they're old enough to play outside quietly) #responsibleparentsANDneighbours

I really sympathise, I've had similar for years, not just at half term, from a family in a nearby road (not mine).


Including at crack of dawn on Sunday mornings, and on some occasions joined by an adult also.


My heart used to sink every day when they came home from school. I feel really sorry for people whose houses are closer than mine and who work at home or are otherwise at home.


It's improved of late, maybe one or some of the immediate neighbours complained, or else the children are past the shouting and screaming stage (please God).


Of course young children scream and shout, it's part of being a young child. It's also kind of their parents and carers to teach them not to do it at length outside on a regular basis in a built up area where there are other residents.


The odd occasion, fine. Unless it's 7.30 am, in which case not fine.

7.30 am is deathly quiet in my house during half term. In fact, I think they're still asleep, so you're defo not talking about me.


I'm with Mark though - if it happens all the time, just have a little chat. I'm also of the view that kids are kids and it's actually lovely to hear them playing.

If it had been happy playing noises then there would be no objections but being woken up at 7.30 to screaming, shouting and cussing is objectionable. If it had been an immediate neighbour would have had a word but this was not in immediate vicinity, hence the objection to the travelled noise!

I'm with you and Sue. My old next door neighbour had 3 boys and used to shunt them into the garden at 7ish both Saturday and Sundays when most people are off work, and wouldn't mind a little lie-in. (She didn't go out to work). She obviously wanted a bit of peace and quiet herself but it is really obnoxious at that hour. It is possible to play fairly quietly in a huge garden. A bit of live and and let live, i.e being aware of others wouldn't go a miss.

Mind you the same person had a tree surgeon start work in her back garden with his chainsaw at the same time one Saturday, so she clearly didn't give a monkeys :)

Sounds a bit like "We're staying/leaving get over it and prepare to be indicted for high treason due to messing up the country/obstructing the will of the people"

0730 and I'm also at my desk. By about 9am when I pop out for breakfast I contra-flow the pinched, harried faces of the 08.37 commute crowd scuttling in and huffing about their train being crowded and late. Kids at that time are fine except perhaps Sunday mornings when it's a bit inconsiderate. Far worse is the angle grinder, born from the loft/kitchen extension and paid for by said wage slave job.

    • But at the same time those she sought for advice told her, very clearly, she needed to seek specialist advice which she did not do and carried on regardless. So I think the jury is out on whether this was a legitimate mistake or not.
    • Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News.  It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.
    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
