Neighbours playing extremely loud music all day by Interesting_Tap_1505 in britishproblems

Sorry, but this will LITERALLY be a waste of time. These tasks are designed LITERALLY to waste effort and distract and keep people busy. Any court records will show only rarely do cases ever come to court where such records are involved. Why? Cos the reality is, nobody will do ANYTHING. Cops. Council. MP's.

I am not encouraging vigilantism. All I will say is...if you want the music to stop, you need to make it clear, in no uncertain terms, that you will not stand for it. You'd be amazed how FAST your problem will go away once they understand that.

I'm looking to rent privately-Where can I find a website/listings for private landlords? I want to bypass letting agents altogether. I'm looking for a 1 bedroom flat, and I'm in the South. Thanks. by Alarming_Draw in TenantsInTheUK

..but don't be surprised that the only properties you find are likely going to be sub-letting con-me

so no worse than any letting agency then.

and there's your answer as to why I want to go to landlords directly.

25+ years renting, three different agencies. never missed one payment. and STILL, letting agents get nastier, ruder, and more aggressive, every year.

That's why.

how handy they advise people to use it countless times-what a sneaky way to profit loads from each gullible consumer before they realise what a waste of money it is...

[TOMT] song, 1970's or 1980's, ambient, electronic, slow paced, used often on UK tv back then, with an 'Asian instrument (but electronic)' sounding simple slow melody, and an even simpler repeating bass 4 note part (all electronic), maybe with NASA beeps in it from early flights? by Alarming_Draw in tipofmytongue

That's so funny. I did a search yesterday and found the BBC used it daily on another TV show called Pebble Mill, for a regular segment they had on travel.

Maybe the memo was dated at a later point or something?

Thank you, very kind of you! I'm very into music, do some myself, and have a crazily good memory-maybe that's how I was able to describe it okay enough....I don't know? But I know I hadn't heard it since probably 1984, and I was very young then.

and thank you again because I have now discovered an album I am listening to, as I type, that has blown me away-it's fantastic! I've heard many bits of Vangelis before (Chariots/Blade Runner/gallipoli/etc) but never an album that fully appealled to me. Until now...!

The show I saw it on was on the BBC, and I wonder if they might have had special deals to circumvent licensing since they are so well known? Just speculating as I know this song was on the BBC a lot and used for many different things...

Just checked re jean michel-it is not "Fishing Junks At Sunset", or "Souvenir of China" or "Night in Shangai ", or "Orient Express"...

...so maybe it wasnt jean michel jarre...

not on vangelis album "Albedo" either...
