Just clear off!

It's been karaoke all day, now it's screaming and some sort of chanting. Football stuff I suppose.
9.30 and their parents are over the back as their sitting areas are back and I'm facing the buggars as my Sitting room is at the front.

My windows are shut due to the racket. Have been all day, no matter how hot.

I dread the next six weeks. Last year I decamped to Cape Town for four weeks but not going again as my old dog misses me. So expensive and why should I?

If I brought a group of friends and made a noise all day until this time, I bet the PCO's would be called.

Why is it ok for kids?

I bloody hate them and their noise!

Are you in the UK? Bit mad to go all the way to Cape Town in their winter just to get away from the neighbours!

Yanbu, sounds horrendous.

Well CT is beautiful. I'd be anywhere like Cuba/Azores if I would leave my dog.

They're going in. The tables where they were selling stuff and knocking on doors to sell one biscuit for 20p. Purchase price 20p per packet. Yes I bought three biscuits.

The silence is wonderful now but too late to enjoy open windows. Oops they're back out. Oh F!

I used to think I was alone in disliking other people's children but seems many here feel the same. Irritating aren't they. Our own of course are Angels !!!!!

I love that idea from a Mayor somewhere in Spain. All children to be kept indoors from 2-5 pm for Siesta. Now that is civilised.

Feel perfectly calm now, but it's bedtime. Too late to open windows.

No water super soakers and screaming, no football chanting. No kicking football at my front door which causes me to jump out of my skin.

I can though hear screaming /yelling/shouting/tantrums through my closed windows.

So Jazzed up from playing and unable to be calmed down. Children cannot be taken off the street being so hyper and expected to go to bed without a calm period.
I wouldn't normally know this due to putting the TV on, so all this shouting is a revelation. Oops, just heard "you F A" from an adult.
Oh dear.
