To expect the rural pub next door to stop the music now?

[debka]

Been going on for hours. They did warn us but I've had enough. Can hear every word.

I fucking hate other peoples' noise and music.

That's why I hate this place so much.

You have my empathy.

There is no way I will ever live near a pub again.

Been there, bought the tshirt.

And we a block away from one, not next door.

There's a three bed flat over a pub here that is still up for let.

Duh!

I hope they turn it off soon.

YANBU. Warned you may have been but so what, it's not as if you could have done much to prevent it, is it?

I live in a rural village too, (luckily the other end of it from the sole pub) and one of the reasons I do so is because I like the peace and quiet. The greatest noise I hear post 9pm apart from my DDs is that of foxes screeching. I opted for that. I didn't opt to live with loud music, and clearly neither did you.

That said, a friend is a pub landlady in a market town. She always argues that the pub has been there for 200 years, far longer than any resident so local residents bought/rented kknowing that there was a pub nearby and knowing that with a pub comes noise.

If it's a one-off and within understood limits you will have to grin and bear it. If it becomes a habiit or the noise is genuinely excessive then you can oppose their music license or complain to the council's environmental health department.

It's a one-off. Just bloody annoying cos we are driving across europe with a 1 year old tomorrow and I could really do with my sleep....

Haven't they stopped at midnight?

Nope. Still going. May stuff some toilet paper in my ears and go back to bed. Am 11 wks pg, knackered and have to get up at 6am tomorrow.
