Update on Neighbours: Part 1

So yesterday at around 11am I was still laying in bed listening to the radio and suddenly there was a knock at my front door, which was strange because nobody buzzed up on the entry phone. So I called out: "Who is it?" And the response came back: "Pest control!" Pest control? Ooh ooh, maybe someone was coming to finally get rid of my bloody upstairs neighbours! So I opened the door and the guy said they do routine checks on the building and could he inspect my flat? I was so tempted to say: "I can save you the time, the damn vermin live upstairs." But I held it in and let him do his rounds. He walked in, looked around, and said: "Wow. This is a really nice place. You have the cleanest flat in the building by far!" I think I have the cleanest flat in London by far - the majority of people live like pigs!

But I'm digressing. So if you remember I put the note up on Sunday, and that night they ran their washing machine anyway. So I gave them three nights to redeem themselves, which they obviously didn't. By Wednesday, yesterday, I decided enough was enough. I called my landlord's office and complained. The woman on the phone was really nice, very sympathetic, and nearly jumped into the phone when I told her they have taken to turning on the washing machine at 3am. She asked me to send her the complaint in writing by Email, which I did, attaching the note I wrote to them as well. Today I got an Email from her saying that she spoke to them and is also giving them a complaint in writing. She said to contact her if the noise persists. I can't wait till tonight to see if there's a difference! I will give them one week to ship up or I'm complaining again. This is fun!!

Btw I am happy to report that no pests were found in my flat!
