I think 1:30am is reasonable. I used to worry that my next door neighbours noisy bbq's would wake my daughter, but they never do. Most kids sleep through anything, once they are actually asleep. If I got a note I would try to get her to sleep before it really kicked off.


I think Partygirl could be a bit more sensitive however, especially if she's planning another one in a few months. Be nice, you might win people over. Nothing to gain by rubbing people up the wrong way.

I thought you were an old git like the rest of us!



PERISH the thought, how VERY dare you.


Speaking of parties, 2 weeks ago I had a party which wrapped-up about 4.30am. Didn't tell neighbours about it - shame on me. Wasn't mentally loud though, but loud enough to dance.

  • 3 weeks later...

Without the occasional burst of noise, how would you appreciate the defeaning silence? Too much of it and it would be like living in a cemetary.


I thought 1.30 was good to be honest (no doubt the parents had a hand in that) at 40 I don't even get to house parties until that time! lol


Can everyone remember what they did at 18 still or has life beaten the rememberance of any joy into submission?


As for the noise patrol, pointless really if you only having a one off in mind. It wears off after a couple of years anyway. I've had 3 of them over 20 years. No problem. Kinda funny when the police turn up and say a neighbour has complained and you lead them into the garden to point out which one because there all there. Always good to escort them out with a six pack that you found on the street that you'd like them to hand in for you.


Seriously, I think it was nice of you to grab a book and go to bed. Very outgoing and understanding.

    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
    • Just had an interior decorating job done by Andy. The final outcome looks lovely and he did some remedial work at the same time to fill in gaps in the ceiling (due to previous electrical work) and to remediate any similar areas to ensure a polished overall look. Would highly recommend him for any similar job, he quoted a very reasonable price for the job as well. Thanks Andy!
