I have been counting down the hours since Christmas till the day i could leave the coffin/pit of death that i have called my bedroom for over a year. I liked my flat, in fact i loved it - good location, nice kitchen - actually quite reasonably priced, or at least thats what i thought when i signed on the dotted line. Blinded by desperation - no home, new city etc, i failed to notice that the size of my room was about that of a dwarfs shoe box, i also chose to ignore that this shoe box may have well as been left dead centre of Picadilly circus by the said dwarf considering the amount of noise that has assaulted my ear drums nightly since. Broken glasses, screaming girls on tour, standard drunken football banter, the constant drone of car engines with accompanying hard house played at the highest volume - plus a heavy helping of sirens, road cleaners and car horns. Without numbing my mind with alcohol of an evening i was destined to lay awake pillow firmly pressed (with little affect) to my ears.

I have now moved, but let this be a warning against hasty decision making!

I told you Fulham was a dodgy area!
I've heard the Kings Lynn is pretty quiet.

LOL! I live in the country here in the States. The only noise we have at night are the occasional ducks from the lake across the street. I really feel for you. I don't think I could stand that!
