i bought an ex-council flat, knowing the flat below was still a council flat , but it was empty for 6 BLISSFUL months while the council made repairs.
now, a family with two kids under five and a hyperactive dog live below me, crammed into a compact 2-bed flat which is just big enough for me on my own.
from 8 till 11am on sunday, a VERY LOUD driving game was being played in the room beneath me.
when they go out, the dog howls pitifully until they return.
i can hear them when they are filling their kettle in the kitchen.
i can hear the man snoring in the bedroom below me, through the nite.
i can follow their conversations in rooms beneath my laminate floors.
when they BANG their back door shut - which they always do - my plants shake.
do i win? ;)
