CONGRATULATIONS to all the writers who have stood up against nuisance, noisy neighbours.

I agree with all those who have had the guts to expose these people (if you can call them that), for what they are.

To me, they are down right arrogant selfish animals who care nothing about anything but themselves.

Our councils should oust these idiots from our midst or force them to adequately soundproof their properties. If not they should be made to compensate their victims for the suffering they have caused.

People's health and comfort are far more important than their stupid thoughtless behaviour - and this should be paramount when victims take these culprits to task.
