7.30am is the daytime.

For 3 years I suffered a self build at the back of my garden that started at roughly 7 am with the 3 builders swearing at each other and continued through the day with heart FM full blast. Bank holidays included. The houses are now empty, over priced eye sores (plus they took down some trees thus destroying my view)and the guys did not apologies once and yes I did go ask them to turn it down, everyday, and yes I was made to feel like a total cow.


One event in the park? Jeez Louise, I had both kids with chicken pox one year combined with a mini digger and dirrge FM. Count yourself lucky, the council could do nothing to stop them and they never had to ask for any permissions. 7 AM, pretty much EVERY day from spring to autumn for 3 years. That is inconsiderate behaviour.

Nope, at the weekend that is early in the morning and anti-social in the extreme.

And yet Southwark deem reasonable hours for DIY and building work to be 8.30am to 7.30pm.


There has to be a reasonable view taken on noise imo.


My neighbours below had a baby and it would cry at various times of day/ night (as babies do) and wake me at night. But I never deemed that a reason for complaint when some people would.


I live in a flat with neighbours above, below and around me. I have to accept that with that comes some noise, be it footsteps, washing machines etc. But if I am subjected to eccessive noise at 2am then I will have a word. Also if music is played so loud at any time of the day that my windows rattle (has happened in the past lol) then I'll definitely have a word. Fortunately I have a good relationship with all my neighbours and having a word is always easy.


Genuine noise issues though, always start as mild disturbance and end up driving the affected mad to the point that any noise whatsoever becomes too much to bear.

You're not really trying to compare building work noise with the noise made by one child are you?


Southwark Council deem "babies crying" and "children playing" (as well as footsteps, washing machines etc that you mention) as "everyday" noises and that noise from the ordinary use of residential premises cannot be considered a nuisance (let alone "anti-social in the extreme"!!)

No not trying to compare Chippy...that wasn't my point. My point was what you alude to, that some noises are acceptable as everyday noises....and furthermore, some noises are acceptable during the day but not during the night.


The party in the park may well have been excessively loud, but as a daytime one off, did that therefore make it an unnacceptable disturbance? My view is no....but if it happened every Sunday, then I probably would have a different view.


It's summer, and we live in a big city.....there has to be some give and take within reason I think.

This isn't the first time someone has posted that a child playing post 7.30am in the weekend is anti-social (in the EXTREME!).


As a considerate member of the community and a relatively new father, I'd be grateful if those posters could let me know how to ensure my child doesn't disturb their weekend lie-in. Close all the windows and sweat it out? Gimp gag? Ban on outdoor play, or just play fullstop?


Ideally I'd install a volume knob and adjust as appropriate, but the little tyke won't stay still long enough for me to perform the surgery.

Erm, as their parent this is surely your problem as you have chosen to be a parent as opposed to, say, a neighbour who hasn't?

I took your lead that effectively any time after sun up goes.

Erm, nope...as a parent who has chosen to have a child, and therefore accepts that the child will sometimes make a noise when they play, it's not a problem at all.

The Eid event is not planned to have music, but will have a PA system for announcements (and possibly 'Call to Prayer') I wouldn't imagine the event should upset too many people.

    • Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!
    • These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January. 
    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
    • Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
