To call the police on these noisy bastards

Neighbours appear to have invited everyone they know round for the England game.

Everyone has spilled out into the garden, bonkers style tunes blaring full blast, annoying muts barking at the top of their lungs, drunken louts screaming over one another.

I have a one year old trying to sleep, a DH up at 4am should I just put anonymous call into the police?

It's a Monday night FFS no need to act like you're in Benidorm because you're team bet an easy team.

On a side note I love footy but hate English footy culture. Most other countries celebrate with grace not like they're off to club 18-30

It's not selfish, though is it. I mean if it was happening every night then yes that would be bang out of order.

TooManyPaws · 18/06/2018 22:34

And a single occurrence is enough - it doesn't have to be a regular thing.

It is actually the law.

Noisybastards · 18/06/2018 22:36

Lethal exactly there's no modesty with English footy culture. If you're not screeching at the top of your lungs and imposing yourself on everyone else then you're not really celebrating.

toomany What law are they breaking?

LexieLulu · 18/06/2018 22:37

I'd be fuming too OP. I don't get why people can't just go the pub!

RunMummyRun68 · 18/06/2018 22:37

Yes which law??

wonderstar1216 · 18/06/2018 22:37

Popcorn anyone? 🍿

BMW6 · 18/06/2018 22:39

Whoa OP. I get it that your child has been awoken and your DH has to get up early, but no-one has broken any laws (yet) so do yourself a favour and calm down.

After 11pm you will have real cause for complaint. Till then take several deep breaths and try to hold your temper. Don't make it worse by kicking off and making a tit of yourself.

Punder · 18/06/2018 22:40

We're ready to sleep by 8pm each night due to being out of the house 12 hours every day. I'd hate to have noisy neighbours. There absolutely should be a law about noise. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do except go through the council environmental noise team route. Do they have an out of hours service you could call? Eventually, enough complaints about them could lead to an ASBO. If this is a regular occurrence, start building up a log with the council. Such selfish behaviour.

Noisybastards · 18/06/2018 22:40

I live in a detached house btw so it's not just noise coming through a share wall. This is full on Ibiza Calvin Harris beamed straight to my bedroom.

Similar vein, too?

I prefer humous (Hope I've not made a tit out of myself by spelling that wrong)Grin

Scotstar · 18/06/2018 22:42

Its a misconception re 11pm being cut off time. If its causing an unreasonable disturbance you are within your rights to phone. It wouldnt be a priority to attend though

Scotstar · 18/06/2018 22:44

Also if noise is outside its not council that deal it us police.
If its a one off i wouldnt bother though tbh

bluemoonchances · 18/06/2018 22:44

The reason most people think OP is BU is that they posted this just after 9.30pm and from what they have said the noise is a result of the England win... so it's not a regular thing at it was still pretty early.. seriously do some of you guys really think the council/police or whatever might have more important things to do?!!

Runninglateeveryday · 18/06/2018 22:45

It's annoying but it's a one off I very much doubt England will win again so 4 yearly celebration done. As for all this chav talk , they are your neighbours, must be the area.

daffodillament · 18/06/2018 22:45

Is this a regular occurrence with neighbours or not ? If it's a one off I don't see what the fuss is about. TBH you sound like a right cow yourself, very judgy and arrogant.

MaisyPops · 18/06/2018 22:49

I was going to say I had symapthy with you becausr it sounds annoying but ultimately it's mid evening and it's a one off so you'd have to make do and call if it's bad past 11pm.

But then I saw your attitude to other posters essentially suggesting that anyone who isn't agreeing with you would be happy for an overtires lorry driver to plough into someone and generally being rude accusing posters of all sorts. Confused

Yes, the noise is annoying. No you can't v
call the police because you don't like it.

Bluntness100 · 18/06/2018 22:49

When an overly tired truck driver ploughs into your loved ones because the neighbours decide when he is allowed to go to bed we'll see what you have to say then

What a horrible thing to write to strangers on the internet.

Monty27 · 18/06/2018 22:50

Are you Tunisian op? runs

RunMummyRun68 · 18/06/2018 22:51

If your DH crashes its his fault and nobody else's op

Noisybastards · 18/06/2018 22:52

Not a weekly occurance but when they do tlhave parties (4 so far this year) they are this loud. Still going on and still as loud.

Dogs have stopped barking tho thanks to DH hooking up an air compressor to a. Dog whistle.

Start registering it with the council. I think that's your only choice.

If you did this four times ago, they would be well on their way to getting some action taken against them from the council.

In my old place, it was three strikes then a court threat.

Oddly enough, I used to work for a council noise team.

RunMummyRun68 · 18/06/2018 22:59

Those 'permitted levels' are surprisingly high tho
