Half a mile away and psychic miles from the row housing on Brittany. This afternoon, somebody fired a gun or a BIG firework and I jumped a foot, looked over the balcony and saw a plume of smoke waft upwards. <br /><br />I called the police. I wouldn't have bothered, but this is the second time it has happened. The first time was at 2 AM this morning (& and couldn't go back to sleep until 4). The police were very understanding, patiently took details, and would immediately sent a squad car to investigate.<br /><br />What a peaceful country, eh, when one can phone the police and they respond for such a little thing<br />(which could escalate...?) <br /><br />I hate noise! My next battle is to get the irritating wind chime (20 feet away) taken down. The man has not been home for some days, weeks, say his neighbours. The damn thing bangs away all day & night. You can hear it 200 feet away.<br /><br />I noticed on our walk, that the Big Bang this afternoon was near Bangs Street!
