I can't say I get much noise disturbance in the bit of Streatham I live in, but then I'm in the "nice" bit up by the Common/Rookery. George Galloway apparently owns a house about three streets away from me, but I've never seen him anywhere in SW16 or indeed SW-anywhere.

(on the other hand, they live in Shoreditch, so maybe any of their neighbours who haven't lived there more than a decade deserve every last decibel)

The exact same thing happened to me on Saturday, but I didn't make a big deal about it because it was a Saturday night. I guess if I had to work this weekend I would have been pissed, but under the circumstances it was just a little annoying.

We were just about to sit out in the garden last night. Glass of wine, night sky, you get the picture.
Except that next doors lad has just got a new girlfriend but hasn't discovered curtains.
Massive dud.

(You have to admit it's not clear that you weren't the one in the hallway smoking weed from that initial post. You could have been lying to AUTHORITY.)

the nice thing is that when the cops came to clean up the worst of the debacles, we ended up meeting some of our other neighbors who were likewise irritated by the undergrads' bullshit.

But it does feel like a lot of people are missing basic manners. I try to keep relatively quiet, because I know the soundproofing is crap in our building. I don't let my doors slam or run through the halls screeching or writing "drugs R here!!" on the wall when I'm drunk. I don't throw the junk mail I don't want onto the floor. (Someone did this in our building - my boyfriend was so pissed off he cleaned it up himself and it was a whole bin bag full from one flat - wanker...)
We pay a fair whack for living in the centre but sometimes it feels like we're stuck with a bunch of students.
People here can be uptight about things like fences and boundaries too. My mum was visiting and stepped into someone's drive to take a photo so she could get a better shot. The woman came out and bit her head off for daring to venture onto her property.
