It is indeed sad that so many people feel swearing is part of everyday speech. I used to work in a children's play area and one example sticks in my mind is a conversation between a little boy aged two and his mother. The child was going "s*** s*** s***" so the mother decides to tell the child like all parents should not to use that language "Don't you f word b word say that. Pot and kettle anyone. |

It saddens me that so many seem to regard loud swearing as wholly acceptable & almost as some sort of rite of passage simply to look cool in the presence of their peers. It is usually the loudest & the noisiest who tend to get everybody's attention. |

I disgraced myself yesterday morning. The house is at the end of a culdesac, in the middle of the T part and so everyone turns their cars there, the bin lorry stops there and goes back and forth with everyone's bins and so on. Add to that the the world and his wife seem to want to chat just under the bedroom window (it's at the front and there are no gardens to speak of so only 2 or 3 metres away. I recently got up and slammed the window hard when two neighbours were nattering and cackling out there and one did apologise to me via my o.h. when he saw her yesterday. |

My daughter lives in a small village There are 2 cockerels just over the back to her. I have been there during the day and they drive me mad. She says you want to hear them early morning and she is shattered. They are not on a farm but in someone's back garden |

What I think is lacking now are manners and consideration, it seems some people have forgotten them, and some never had them. |

i think that is what is happening here Mayfield, we seem to have a lot of druggies, alcohlics and immigrants and with older folk who have been here for years the 4 don't mix very well, the houses are very old with thin walls and communal access through the gardens. |

Sorry to hear your troubles, been there, bought the T shirt, and wrapped it around my head to try and block out the noise! ;-) |

My brother was on the receiving end of a neighbour making complaints about the noise whilst he and three friends were renting a semi in York whilst at university. The noise related to taxis at 4am after clubbing on a Friday night and the occasional cheering in the living room during the day if they were playing on the X-Box. They put duvets up to cover the dividing wall and ended up getting taxis to stop at the end of the street. However the gentleman continued to complain about the noise so the police community support officer ended up coming out with a machine to register noise levels 4 times without warning to see if the noise was above permitted levels. Thankfully it was not deemed too loud and they had done everything they could to keep noise at a reasonable level so no action was taken. It was a scary time for them though but thankfully only lasted one year as they were able to get a different property for 3rd year. |
