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.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
