Same here. I guess it helps when it’s on a weekend as it is less of an incentive for people to shift it to whichever evening is more convenient, however I fully expected Friday and Saturday to be loud in our neighbourhood, especially as Sunday is a ‘school night’. However there was next to nothing until around 6pm last night, and then it was like the Somme for about an hour. A lull, then those who clearly were planning on a 7.30 start all got going and it was noisy, though less so, for another half hour or so. After that, just a sporadic bang or whoosh here or there. But all together, definitely a lot less. I wonder whether everyone’s too broke to want to spend 10 minutes burning £100 in their back yard.
