But then, -20C in winter is no problem, neither was today's 44C (in sun, 35C in shade). Very nice but very irrelevant. We were talking about converted Victorian townhouses, not purpose built blocks.

Which does Boris live in? It's anecdotal in reply to your broad-brushed statement about flats in post #759. As for where Boris lives, that's just as irrelevant: with the girlfriend of the moment. That's more relevant to the debate, as an indication of character (amongst so many others). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You are clutching at straws with this one. These aren’t multiple occupancy houses with stud partition walls stuck up to house benefit claimants. They are large Victorian houses where the whole of each floor is a self contained flat. The only conversion is to put an internal front door on each landing to separate each dwelling. As I said earlier, they are incredibly soundproof and unless you have a window open, you can’t hear anyone else’s business and they can’t hear yours.

If somebody thought you were being attacked in your property would you not want them to record it? Seriously? is it hell public spirited, if you were getting amorous with your wife and she was being very vocal i doubt you would want it recorded, sometimes enthusiastic sex can sound like something far worse?

Here’s the thing. You are totally allowed to record if noise from the neighbours leads you to believe a crime is in progress. You can even record as part of reporting noise nuisance to the council. Lets be straight about it, it was the privacy of the neighbours that was invaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They had no idea whether there was a problem or issue as neither party made a complaint, meaning that they would have left without any further investigation.
