    Maybe they were celebrating the Closing ceremony-or reckoned as everyone was watching it so wouldn't be in bed no-one would mind.
    There was a closing ceremony??? .....I must have missed it. :D

    I'm old fashioned, so any noise at 11.30 Sunday night is worse than at 11.30 Saturday, because of school/work next day. (Yes, I sound like my mother).

    Having said that, I live in an area over-taken by student houses, so all sorts of noctural disturbances are the norm - the 'tamest' was a large and extremely inebriate young man dancing naked up the middle of the road singing loudly. The 'worst' was three separate all-night parties in a week, during my son's A-level exams.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    Mildly annoying, but assuming it's a one-off, let it go and don't ponder over it to the point that you start wondering whether or not anyone else is annoyed by mere thought of it as well :).

    If this was every sunday night then I think you would have grounds to complain.

    A one off celebration however - surely you can be more understanding?

    And you were annoyed because you couldn't find your binoculars? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    There is a curfew when fireworks can't be let off - between 11pm and 7am, except on specified occasions when it's a later time.

    However, if it's a one-off then just let it go (even though it's flippin' annoying if it's stopping you sleeping!).

    I'm a mature, sophisticated lady. I was annoyed because I didn't have a spud gun ;)
