You don't have to live in a bedsit room to live with neighbours from hell, in fact managed properly bedsits are the ideal solution for people living on a shoe string budget. There are however two basic types of neighbours from hell and they are either dirty or noisy. To give you a graphic example of noise, how many decibels are needed to make peoples lives intolerable ? We had a case of abuse which belonged to the Guinness Book Of Records. After the guy departed he left a piece of stage equipment which rested on the top of his wardrobe it was a huge horn speaker.

According to a history of the flush toilet it's king Edward the seventh who is being credited with introducing the people of England to toilet paper and bottom wiping. King Edward the seventh who became known as the bear used newspaper to wipe his bottom. It was common for English women to complain about the amount of time their men spent on the toilet seat.
