WE ENJOYED the "not in my backyard letter" from Mr and Mrs Lowlands in your letters page.

Isn't it funny how many NIMBY's there are about. Every street, every road, wherever you go.

I've written this letter because the noisy neighbour menace has been very prevalent in our area for a long time.

We could have had peace and quiet years ago - but the NIMBY brigade were too cowardly to do anything about it.

Like noisy neighbours, they also just thought of themselves.

"I'm alright jack - be hanged to anybody else."

What a sick, self-centred world we live in.
