Morning Island - how are we this sunny morn? Very peaceful and calm down my end. :-D

Sharron, I bet she shuts them up when she hears you. I would too, ha ha!

I wondered where our loud neighbour aka 'Big Mouth' had gone Wend.

One of my neighbours is a bit reclusive and always has several dogs. They get outside barking sometimes and the other neighbours complain to each other but I have found that, if I just shout "Shut up!" very loudly she will come out and shut them up with no trouble at all.

Generally we have good neighbours but living in the countryside we do have the sounds of the country. The only neighbour that we have a problem with erected pens to keep 4 cockerels (the unwanted result of buying a hen with chicks) beside the rear boundary only 10 ft from our house. The noise from the competitive crowing was appalling, particularly in the morning and we couldn't have guests to stay.

From previous experience with them we thought the situation might become worse if we complained, with their breeding dogs being housed in these sheds. The cockerels were killed by their own dogs after a year on one of the rare occasions that they were let out!

They fallen out with other neighbours over noise/sewage discharge etc. We are all just hoping they will move :-D

Neighbour disputes are very difficult and in my previous job I have had to calm down people who have been made very distressed and obsessed to the point of illness by issues with neighbours that others might see as trivial.

Speaking 'loudly' is one of the many aspects of Autism. And the speaker is often unaware of the situation.

Just a thought.

Neighbours now long gone but once lived a few doors up and across the road. They had parties most Saturday nights and the boom boom of the base of the music would go full bore and into our bedroom and nearly every household in the street.

We had asked them to not have it so loud and got told where to go and someone else got the noise control people to come around but nothing worked.... . so one early Sunday morning himself got up early put speakers out on our front verandah and played "Amazing Grace" at top notch. That got the prat out of bed and very grumpy.. he never spoke to us again but kept the street a lot quieter on a Saturday night. (His wife and I got along fine and I was always welcome to their place.. quite funny really)

Several years later one of their sons decided to learn the bagpipes.

Immediate neighbours (I live in an end of terrace house) have a toddler, who was a bit of a screamy baby - but at least my house is 1920's with decent walls. They're about 6 ft below me, so have 6 ft fence between us.
Daughter lives in a new house, with plasterboard walls - and my grandson is a bit screamy :-(
Immediate neighbour is also in a band - guitar & drums occasionally heard - but he plays in the attic - and I know the previous neighbour sound proofed it.
Other side - 2 teenage boys (parents) and a dog. But, the third time the dog got in my garden and made straight for the pond, (he just stood in it and stunk when he came out!) the boys put up a 6 ft fence.
Having just put that - my garden is isolated - 6 ft wooden panel fences each side - am I the 'problem' neighbour?
Worst thing is them (either side) or their friends making 'personal' phone calls in the garden.
No-one knows I'm in the garden and can hear.........


Having said that, If I had a problem, I could go to either side - that's the important thing.

Nighty night, Mersey <3

Hope it is abit quieter now Wend....tatty byesy :-)

How lovely Joy - my immediate neighbours on one side are too and we socialise regularly (not too far to stagger home either, although I did manage to fall over once after walking a few yards, but it was New Year's Eve and that dodgy pavestone, of course :-D )

Sharron, I know what you mean about the gossip, but it's so irritating when you can't quite hear what they're saying, especially when it's a domestic!

my neighbours are wonderful

just like the family you would pick yourself if you could :-D :-D

I had a bit too much Wheels on the Bus from my neighbours the other morning but the daughter loves to discuss her business loudly in the garden so I get to hear all the gossip without leaving the comfort and safety of my own home.

Ha ha Sharron :-D :-D :-D

Nolls, there is nothing better than hearing small children playing outside in their gardens - I love it. Teenagers, when parents are out, not quite so much, especially when they've had a can or ten of lager :-|

Sorry, Wend, my wind can be a problem!

Our human neighbours are fine, but the sheep and cows can be noisy! :-D

Always be careful about potential neighbour disputes.

They can turn very nasty

:-0 don't blame us for your windy pops :-P

Dont apologise you ickle Flower Petal....I might be the one grumpy tomorrow lol... <3

I have to say I would be riled if I had neighbours like that, I love my peace and quiet and im lucky where I live it i so peaceful.......

Up to two years ago our street was "dead"....all old fogies lol! ...... but now we have young ones coming in and there are about 7 kiddies playing out and it's lovely to hear them might not be so good when they are teenagers we shall see ;-)

Ah, so it's all your fault is it GiNs - I had my suspicions :-D

It's not usually too bad on the Moulescombe.
