Up until recently I had a neighbour who was a violent drunk who used to play his music loudly from when he got up (about 1200hours or later) to when he had drunk himself (and friends) to sleep (sometimes 0600hours). I had several ‘confrontations ‘ with him but was well aware of the legal situation (as I had gone to him, I was the aggressor in any confrontations, even though his living room was directly below my bedroom). He was having one of his usual ‘parties ‘ and the music was loud enough to be heard two streets away! (About 150’) at 0100 hrs I had about enough (an elderly lady lives on the other side of the plaster board from his flat, we live in a four unit house conversion). So as I had access to the multiple fuse boxes (under the stairs from my flat and separate from his) I flipped the switch for his kitchen circuit! No more music and loud complaints as he and his ‘guests' tried to work out why there was no more music, eventually someone had figured out to check the fuse box and the party was back on! That's when I called the landlord (again) and apologised for the early morning call but he must do something! He could clearly hear the music and said he would sort it out! It took a couple of weeks (and I had to behave myself) but my neighbour was moved to the other side of town! He's now someone else's problem!
