Works both ways. You have kids, you keep them quiet at 6 am when they decide they want to run up and down the stairs and scream.

Can't remember that ever happening here. But I have a detached house so you would be hard pushed to hear them even if they did.

Warmer weather means 2 obvious things, the grass grows and people need to have windows open a bit not to cook in their beds.

Somebody who needs to push a 90 decibel machine around outside then after 9pm is a pillock and needs to reorganise their life, all these excuses about not having time - rearrange your tasks!!! do noisy stuff earlier and quiet stuff like dinner or ironing later. Sometimes I don't have time, so? it doesn't get cut, but everyone gets peace.

I would have been annoyed too, I think that's far too late for that level of noise. I was pee'd off the other Sunday when a neighbour started some heavy garden machinery at 7:15am. That neighbour is retired so not at work all week.

However it only happened once and sometimes these things happen, by all means get annoyed and have a moan, but then you move on

That could have been me had I not been so tired. I've been working long hours recently and my lawn has become a jungle! Thankfully my lawn only takes an hour so at least I wouldn't have disturbed you too much! ;-)

Maybe he heard the forecast was rain all week and the grass needed cutting...

Absolutely. I'd love to sit in my bed of a morning with my husband and son but the latter is too noisy and I don't want to disturb the neighbours at half past six. So we all go downstairs where there's less chance of them hearing him chatting away.

But the two aren't really synonymous. With the best will in the world, it's pretty difficult to stop a small baby crying, or a toddler chattering. It's not difficult to decide not to mow the lawn at 11 o'clock at night.

That is just too late to be mowing a lawn.

Last Sunday someone threw their kids outside to run around and scream at 7.30am - not good and I wasn't impressed.

It must be the week for it, we have a house across the street getting work done on it and the new owner was out in the front garden after 10pm on Monday night using a circular saw :mad:

It is just completely inconsiderate.

I am about to inform a person who backs onto my land that leaving his doberman barking all day is not on...Two days it has gone on for and good job the weather is not good..He will only be told once....

And 8pm is cut off time for a mower if you have neighbors.

Whatever hours someone works I still think noise for mowing lawn after 11pm is just rude!

That's alright, I finished about 11.

If you carried on like that in our village, you and your lawnmower would likely mysteriously disappear for "The Greater Good".

You obviously haven't got the hang of village living them, the harvest isn't far off, which means combine harvesters running 24 hours a day.

Move to a middle floor flat on a main road in London. And take a job working shifts/antisocial hours.

I guarantee within 3 months you'll be able to sleep through anything - bin lorries, tube trains, planes, sirens 24/7, doors slamming, cars and motorbikes revving, shouting, punch ups, hoovering, helicopters, kids crying, bottle bins being emptied, delivery lorries..............

Some things never leave you.

And 11pm is an early night for me.
