The solution to noisey neighbours
Discussion
Next door really hacked me off last night, he's a bloke working down south from Leeds and is renting the house from my old neighbour who is working in Madrid, he's a nice enough guy but his other half is still up north till some time next month when she starts a job down here. Anyway I saw him in the local pub late afternoon yesterday when we called in for a quick one and he'd obviously been on one all day, we left about 8 ish and came home then saw him again about 10 when he was having a fag in tha back garden had a quick chat then left it with my passing comment of "well i'll see you later I'm knackered and off to bed". Fast forward to half 11 when The Prodigy kicks off at full volume literally shakeing the walls, I stuck it for quarter of an hour or so then thought it was time for a word, leaning on the door bell made no difference as he couldn't hear it from the top floor where he was having his personal rave, so stumped for a solution I spotted the electrical meter cabinet, I returned to my house to get my key opened it up and saw the big 100amp fuse that feeds the meter this is lock wired in by the electricity company but had enough play to be pulled out a little and break the connection...........silence........ I tried ringing the door bell again but suprise suprise its a mains door bell so I pushed it back in hoping he'd get the hint.............Mr Flint at full volume.............fuse out silence.....bang door.............nothing..............fuse in................Keiths finests vocals.................bo11ox to this fuse right out off back to bed.............silence blissful silence all night. I plugged him back in again at 7 o'clock this morning and was actually quite suprised not to get the ageing punk back at number 10 on the volume dial but off I went to work regardless.
So the answer to noisey neighbours is simply cut them off over night.
Tonight will fun as I've no problem at all telling him he's an inconsiderate northern monkey, sunday night raves are just not cricket, and if he does it again I'll pull his power again, I actually think that he may not have even noticed as he was so bladdered (until his alarm didn't go off this morning that is)

Sorry it's not a communal fuse box it's simply that the meter boxes are located on the outside and the main feed has a big 100amp electricity board fuse before the meter, they have a triangular plastic key of the kind "one fits all" hence why my one would fit his. I simply cut his house off over night, it may not be legal but frankly at that time of night when I've just been woken up and am stood there in slippers and dressing gown I didn't give a toss.
