eeek, on friday night i had a bit of a party after a party i had been at .... made quite a bit of noise with music and dancing... anyway, my downstairs neighbour came up to complain last night, i apologised etc, she was very annoyed though and i can see why and i was thinking of buying a wee box of chocolates and leaving them at her door with a wee card? do you think that would be ok? to say sorry? i don't know her at all by the way, that was the first time i had really spoken to her

[ummmm]

Are you going to say sorry in the card?

I think that would be lovely gesture and shows to her that you take her feelings seriously.

Next time.....Invite her!

[admarlow]

I think its a great idea! If its a big party next time invite her then she might come and then she wont complain about the noise.

[rom]

yeah, i was just gonna write something like "sorry for the other night" and just sign my name
i did feel really bad though , but you know what its like , a few glasses (eh, bottles !) of wine and then you don't want the party to end !!

[admarlow]

.....ah great minds ummmm.............................

[PinkFizz]

I think that is a really lovely gesture rom.Go for it! x

Please don't mention wine.... :0(

Chocies are a good idea. I left flowers once after keeping a neighbour awake.... she was quite chuffed.

[tradey]

wouldnt buy her anything,if she was that bothered why didnt she knock on on friday and ask you to turn it down, youve said sorry id leave it at that

[rom]

thanks guys ! you have been very helpful!
china doll, i am exactly the same about the wine, friday was a mad one and ALOT of wine was involved !!
happy monday everyone !!

[China Doll]

Stop bl00dy shouting Rom.... you don't need all those explanation marks... and if the rest of you could keep it down to a dull roar too I'd be most grateful....

God If I bought a box of chocolates for redcrx everytime I had a party she would be bigger than pavaroti :-) But would be very nice of you.

Anyone, whether it be flat above/below or neighbour is entitled not to have their privacy invaded at an unreasonable time, by noise/smoke etc pollution.

The options open are,

1) there is always a out-of-hours phone number available from the Environmental Office at your local council for both private and council tenants.

2) if the police are contacted, it has to be mentioned if the person being subjected to noise etc, is suffering from any medical condition which might be accerbated by the noise, as the police catergorise this type of issue. After all, they would far sooner deal with a problem if the person has a cardiac condition than wait untill it has kicked off and a cardiac arrest has commenced.

I suffered for years with the worse neighbours for this and not once did they even do a guesture like this, f*ing ar$eholes they were!

[redcrx]

I think its a nice gesture Rom, 4get didnt once buy me a box of chocs to apologise for the noise from her flat :(
But as she says, if she did it every time it would be a lot of choccies :)
