I went out to the green last night at 10pm and asked a group of boys (aged from about 8-12) who were playing a very loud game of football if they could keep the noise down a bit at it was getting a bit late.
Some of the boys apologised, and one rudely told me that they were playing a match (in a 'so that's that) kind of tone.
As I was walking away the rude guy immediately started shouting and creating a racket again. I heard some of the other boys shushing him and saying 'she asked us nicely'.
However he and a couple of others obviously held sway and noise continued until about 11pm.
Just wondering what time is reasonable to expect a bit of peace and quiet, if not necessarily total silence?
