    The trick here is to have your own little party, beginning at 6am on the Sunday morning. Just when your neighbours' hangovers are getting going...
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Agreed - but this is every month or so. I have no problem with the party or lateness, just a polite request to down the music down slightly. A little bit of common courtesy was all I wanted

          Look, I've had some pretty riotous parties Chez Pip over the years but I ALWAYS observe the 11 pm curfew even if the assembled throng are rocking out to my Notting hillbillies collection at the time.

            The house behind us were raided for drugs one Friday evening. It provided a good half-an-hour's worth of entertainment - the wife watching over a glass of wine. I was tempted to shout to the police "try the shed", because that's where it's all stashed.

              11pm? That's almost past the kiddies' bedtime. What do you serve at these parties, cucumber sarnies, cakes, fizzy lemonade?

                Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is a good start for Sunday morning

                  The kids are getting into frozen again, so I think "Let it go" on repeat would do the trick

                    In the UK if you make noise before 7am in the week and 8am on Sunday you are seen as causing a nuisance yourself. (I've had people drilling up the road too early which is how I know.)

                    So I would start the party at 8am and finish it at 8pm - with a couple of breaks of varying lengths. That way they will be lulled into a false sense of security that they would be able to go to sleep.

                    You also should find some genres of music you know they don't like but you and your thug looking guests can stand.

                      Oh a kids party - perfect.

                      Do you have a trampoline? You need to move it next to their fence.

                      Also get your kids to get their friends and class mates who scream a lot to come over.

                      When they complain point out kids playing isn't noise nuisance.
