The guy in the downstairs/garden flat is belting out music very loudly and ranting all over the shop, shouting about “No one will defy him” and “c’mon you ****ers”

Not very nice to be fair, was I right to ring the Police to sort it out as I really don’t fancy confronting him myself, he’s a tree surgeon soa bit burly.

Does he have any shoes?
Do you have a full bladder?

Was the shouting before or after the Police arrived?

Shout louder and act more unhinged. See if you can out-crazy him?

The Police haven’t been yet and he’s still shouting, not nice at all 😕

@ LHS, no chance I’m too pleasant

Buy him a bonsai tree and ask him to be quiet?

Or get him in a headlock.

Do you live in Tripoli?

he needs a cuddle

just wait till he finds out that you called the police…. 😯

lol @ idave, but he’s right

Nah, far worse….West London.

You did the right thing calling the police, he might need some serious help although saying that they’ll probably do nothing.

We used to live above a right weirdo and logged a few complaints, I was sat on the wall by the flats waiting for a bus one day, the police had been to see him and were just leaving and I heard the one say ‘poor chap, I think he’s just being picked on by the look of it’. They took a bit more notice a few weeks later when my other half came home from work one night and found a very drunk, nearly naked female minor slumped on the steps as she and some other very young people had been ‘entertained’ by him for the afternoon/evening. He went quite quiet after that but also we moved out pretty sharpish so don’t know what happened to him.

I was going to write a lengthy post, but the police are knocking loudly on my door. Bloody do gooders….

Fingers crossed it is the Police.

Still no police action, it’s been 45 mins since I called them, didn’t realise London was that big 😆

Just want the annoying so & so shutting up as I need to get to bed, been up since 3am

Call them and say you think you saw him with a gun.

or a gun shaped object, they’d have the whole place surrounded in 30 seconds

tell the police you heard him asking where he could get large amounts of fertilizer and sugar from round here.

Call them and tell them his car’s parked on double yellows with no tax.

Does he bring his work tools home with him? thinking that through have you thought of who would take care of your Nicolai, first dibs

Thats miles away at my country residence 😆

Apparently the Police can’t make him turn his music down or stop him shouting & ranting, WTF is that all about 😈

So you called the police and told them a burly bloke who may have access to a chainsaw/other sharp things is kicking off and wants to give someone a doing.

Perhaps they might be more likely to come running if you had claimed that he had over ordered at the doughnut shop?

the Police can’t make him turn his music down or stop him shouting & ranting

phone his Mum then

she says she can’t deal with him either 🙄

Don’t they still make Bombers????

He’s playing fekkin Robbie Williams now

@ CK, mine are at Home 😳

He didn’t get a letter under the door today did he? maybe he’s just getting into practise for when the estate agents turn up.

Being a member of the ‘My ex was mental’ club (no, it wasn’t a funny club) the police nor mental health teams can’t act unless he poses a danger to himself or other people.

Try and phone/talk to the Mental Health Crisis Team possibly.

/this is all IME, IANA mental health expert, etc. etc.

TJ to the forum! TJ to the … oh wait.

Police can’t section him if he is in a private place for starters. Can ask him to turn his music down but struggle if he doesn’t that is for environmental health I am afraid.

Chuck some burning material into the garden, phone the police & fire brigade saying he has a can of petrol.

Has worked for me in the past.

BTW I don’t agree with wasting the emergency services time, but occasional you need to introduce a catalyst.

Has worked for me in the past.

Yeah, and you’ve had more than your fair share of psychotic neighbours too! Was it you who grassed up poor old Fred? 😉

Tree Surgeon is he oh dear….be afraid

Another reason to live in scotland – the police and council folk have the power to get these people to shut up and are really quite happy to use it.

tree surgeon eh? You’ll need to call Special Branch.

Anyone seen my coat? 😀

Your London borough will have their version of a Noise Abatement Officer/Environmental Enforcer who can be contacted 24/7. If your neighbour is shouting and making a nuisance you can legitimately call them, if they arrive and he’s mental they’ll ring the fuzz and it’ll add more weight. Lots of shouty nut jobs in London which is why I moved (too much competition). HTH

Tree surgeon friend not making himself very Poplar? As Yew have already rang the police I would hang around and Cedar outcome from a safe distance. 😳

In times gone past they might have given him the Birch!

Wood have thought He’ll twig who called them, and then he’ll bark at you to get knotted… I’d leaf it alone if I were yew.
