November 8th - veiled threats again.

9.30 start mopping, put some music on, fairly loud - house to myself. Make sure front door is shut (it joins the living room, which adjorns neighbours house)

10.00 They send their Grandson round (the one they threatened us with once upon a time)"Can you turn it down". Me "Yep, after the housework, in around 15 minutes.

Bill and Mary our actual neighbours appear, they're all getting into a taxi, so they're not even going to be in!

Mary pipes up "We can hear it every morning"

ME: "Yes, usually between 10 and 12 when the kids are at nursery. We could have it on technically between 7.30am and 11pm, that's the when the noise pollution law is in place, but we don't, just in the morning"

MARY: "Whilst you're doing your downloading, we'll see about that"

ME: "No, when I'm doing the housework (Hold dripping mop aloft)"

MARY: "We can hear it all the time" ME: "No, just in the morning, especially the once a week George is in nursery, such as now - thus, mopping!" MARY: "Yeah yeah, well, we'll see what happens then"

Another threat despite me actually making sure the music is on at a reasonable time of the day and only for a short length??? They definitely seem to be starting a trend of complaining again lately. They don't know how good they have it, we get the kids in bed for 8/9 every night, we don't have loud music on after 3pm, and only for a short while in the morning. UPDATE: Spoke to police about the case, as they told me to update them - the original offiecer has left, and the person I dealt with gave me generic answers about noise being the councils problem - despite the fact that the issue isn't so much the noise, as the neighbours pestering us at any given opportunity, so it feels like we're on our own now. Again.
