What time do you tolerate a noisy house party until?

[coopercat]

There is one going on 2 doors away from me at this moment!

They did post a note through our doors, they expect it to end no later than 5am.....

Any thoughts?

[Townleygreen]

I always get cross if it goes on till 6 am...

[coopercat]

Is that because you weren't invited?

[SpaghettiSue40]

Sounds fabulous! Which road is this ?

[coopercat]

I'll send you a PM shall I?

Once I've settled the kids down......

[????]

Only another 5 and 3/4 hours to go

[Mick Mac]

Adult party finishes at 5 am.

Kids' "Hey Dad I'm up for the day" party starts at 5am.

I dont fancy your chances of getting much sleep.

[coopercat]

Such fabulous answers, just as expected.

[????]

Glad we could help. Off to bed now though.

coopercat, it was a Friday night. They had the good grace to post a note through the door to give you advance warning, so clearly they're not hugely irresponsible and planning to make this a regular week-night thing.

I think that when you live at such close quarters with your neighbours as we do in East Dulwich, sometimes you just need to take it on the chin.

Our new young neighbours of some months ago (studenty types) came to our door to tell us about their party. Vert nice of them I thought especially as they promised a delivery of some fresh home made bread afterwards. They never delivered. Do I send them a note or knock on their door and confront them face to face?

I totally agree.

On a final note-

the party was shut down by the police at 1am. The party goers were seen urinating on garden paths, smashing bottles on cars and playing 'knock down ginger' up and down the road.

Before the thought enters your mind - no, it was not me who called the police.

I'm pleased to say that there is a least one other person who isn't as tolerant as you lot claim to be.

[Alan Medic]

What in hells name is 'knock down ginger'. Excuse me for asking. I'm a foreigner.

[SpaghettiSue40]

Coppercat, the smashing bottles on cars is a criminal offence and good for you for complaining albeit on the internet. The urinating on garden paths and knock down ginger is entirely unacceptable but very very funny to read. I hope you are ok today ;-)

Google is your friend.

[DJKillaQueen]

I never heard it called that before...we used to call it 'postmans knock' when I was a kid.

[Alan Medic]

Google is my friend. We used to do that on Halloween when we were kids. Is it still fun?

[DJKillaQueen]

I remember one time tying cotton to five knockers so I could pull them all at the same time! (I was 7 btw)

[Mick Mac]

Garden running was more adventurous.

[Frankito]

I don't get what knocking down ginger has to do with knock door run away...? Sounds like a good party. I was probably there in spirit althoufh not doing anything naughty cos I am a good Catholic boy.

I tried this once and got arrested! (Benny Hill circa 1972).

[The Minkey]

Yeh, garden running was ace ;-)
