Whistling Neighbour

Obviously not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, however, please allow me to vent!

The close where I lie is a lovely old hodge podge of houses all facing in different directions, our front garden faces the side of our across the road neighbour's back garden and mine & DH's bedroom and dd2's bedroom are at the front the house.

The couple across the road have lived there since they got married about 50 years ago and as they're on the corner seem themselves as the gatekeepers of the close, they talk to everyone who comes into the close and comment on all visitor's roadside parking, state of people's gardens, children, habits etc etc.

None of this bothers me too much, they're not unpleasant and give us veggies from their garden everyone now and again.

But OH MY GOD the man whistles ALL THE TIME when he's outside. Last night it was until passed 10.30pm and he started before 7am this morning. It causes havoc with dd2's bedtime and woke her (and me!) up this morning. It echos round the close and is so loud!

WWYD? We've not been here long but we love our perfectly imperfect house and don't want to upset anyone.

You'll have to move, it's the only solution. Men over the age of 50 are incapable of changing habits, it's evolution, sorry!

Borrow a Jack Russell for a while and put it outside to yap when he whistles.

I absolutely loathe whistling, it makes me shriek with rage.

Yeah because your shrieking is clearly much nicer than whistling.... Hmm
