Why oh why is it when the summer arrives some people feel the need to sling open their windows and blast us all with the racket they call music?

We all like our windows open when the weather is fine, and I’m pleased that people are enjoying their entertainment, but I don’t want to hear it.

I want to hear the gentle burble of the neighbourhood not mindless thumping.

Keep it to yourself and show your fellow man some respect – no doubt the same respect you demand from others.

MRS L NEALE, Southampton.
