Keep the noise down

I live on a housing estate and I know that children now on holiday will obviously play in their gardens, which is fine. I just wish parents would take on board that the rest of their neighbours don’t wish to hear their kids shrieking at 7am with no evidence of mum or dad (are they enjoying a lie-in, I wonder?). With windows wide open due to this hot weather, it is really unacceptable. I’m afraid this is typical of the selfish attitude of some – there is no thought for the feelings of other people.
