I was really struggling to get no one twin off to sleep (teething!) and he had just that SECOND closed his eyes when the bloody things started going off. Was it D College? I'm going to complain. Surely there is some law about loud noise like that after 9.30pm or something?

Indeed. There will also be animals that were scared because of it. But anyway, if you want to let off fireworks, do it as soon as it's dark, and get it over with quickly. It kept on stopping and starting. And it was really really loud in our front bedroom. No 1 baby was very distressed.

There is a law regarding the use of fireworks - their use is banned between 11:00pm and 07:00 am except for Diwali, Guy Fawkes, New Year and Chinese New Year.


Whilst the sound might have annoyed you last night, if it's only a one off thing and they weren't outside of the curfew times then it's worth while having a little perspective on this 'event' - it would be quite mean-spirited to make a complaint about it to the college/authorities etc and will more than likely get you nowhere anyway.

Yes, I am also dead against loud, annoying noises disrupting the peace. Particularly when I'm trying to enjoy a quiet coffee in one of the cafe's around the area. You know the places - where doe eyed parents watch adoringly as their children charge about without hinderance of adult supervision.

Bless.

Of course there was a possibility that 'our kid' might have been woken-up.


What I do is, shut my eyes and remember all the occasions when 'our kid' has woken someone else up.

And then, I try to imagine those other people, all enjoying the fireworks on Saturday night.


Seems to work.

Unlike all the building/diy noise.

I personally believe that the building noise is much worse, at least with fireworks they look pretty.

The fireworks I heard didn't sound like they were coming from dulwich College- agree with OP more like the Goodrich Road are. I thought they were coming from the same party that were playing Michael Jackson non stop til the early hours - not really complaining though as I had quite a lively bash a couple of weeks ago. Was bit disappointed that it didn't make the forum!
I am fine with fireworks but not after certain hours, personally I think 11pm is too late to allow fireworks to go on for. 9pm should be the cut off line, they were bloody loud, and my niece woke up with nightmares because of the fireworks and didn't settle back down until 2am. I really do think 10pm is late for fireworks and I am not tha old either!

    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo  
    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too. 
    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
